Increasing the number of mathematics graduate students and of professional mathematicians entering the workforce

该项目主要集中在研究生教育的早期阶段，从而增加了数学研究生的招生和专业发展。它有三个主要目标：(A)增加成功过渡到博士学习的硕士学生的数量；(B)为完成硕士学位后进入教育或工业工作的学生提供高级数学培训；以及(C)提高博士生的成就率，减少完成学业的时间。有几个因素有助于高保留率和完成率，并最终导致项目的成功。这些措施包括多样化的高质量硕士学位收藏，新设立的过渡和博士预科课程，密切的指导，以及强有力的行政支持。每年颁发16个奖学金：8个给寻求硕士学位的学生，8个给博士生。该项目强调从亚特兰大地区的大学招收学生，特别关注代表人数不足的群体的学生。与地区学院的联合研讨会和交流计划以及本科生项目的研究经验被用作吸引合格学生进入佐治亚理工学院数学研究生学习的媒介。

This project increases recruitment and professional development of mathematics graduate students by focusing chiefly on the early stages of graduate education. There are three main goals; (a) to increase the number of Master's students who successfully transition to Ph.D. studies, (b) to provide advanced mathematical training for students to enter the workforce in Education or Industry upon completion of their Master's degrees, and (c) to increase success, and decrease the time to completion, of Ph.D. students. There are several factors that contribute to high retention and completion and, ultimately, to the success of the project. These include the diversified collection of high quality Master's degrees, newly created transitional and Ph.D. preparatory courses, close mentoring, and strong administrative support. Sixteen fellowships are awarded per year: 8 for students seeking a Master's degree and 8 for Ph.D. students. The project emphasizes recruitment of students from colleges in the Atlanta area, paying special attention to students from underrepresented groups. Joint seminars and exchange programs with area colleges and Research Experiences for Undergraduates projects are used as vehicles to attract qualified students to graduate studies in mathematics at Georgia Tech.
