Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute

暑期本科生数学科学研究所(SUMSRI)是迈阿密大学数学系开展的一个项目。每年，SUMSRI从全国各地的机构招募约15名学生，通过为他们提供密集的研究机会和研究生水平的数学，为数学科学的研究生课程做准备。这种体验的核心是一个研讨会，在研讨会上，学生在教员的指导下进行研究；每年提供三个不同的研讨会，并根据学生的兴趣将他们安排在研讨会中。该计划的补充是实数分析、代数、数学写作和GRE准备方面的短期课程，以及(主要)女性和少数族裔数学科学家的系列座谈会。在参加该项目后的一年里，参与者被要求在SUMSRI的资助下，在地区和国家会议上展示他们的研究成果。非洲裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人现在占美国人口的25%以上，2009年授予美国公民的500个数学博士学位中，他们总共获得的比例不到6%。美国女性获得博士学位的比例略高于30%。由于缺少少数族裔和女性数学家，南方数学研究所特别关注但不限于代表性不足的少数族裔和妇女，目的是让他们接受数学科学方面的研究和研究生教育。在过去的12年里，SUMSRI已经证明了它在培养学生迎接研究生教育挑战方面的有效性。在该项目的173名毕业生中，45.7%来自未被充分代表的少数群体；其中，60.8%正在攻读研究生课程或已完成研究生学位，11.3%仍是本科生。女性占项目毕业生的75.1%，其中73.8%是研究生或已完成研究生学位，11.5%仍是本科生。SUMSRI现在可以统计有16名毕业生获得了博士学位；其中12人是女性，6人来自代表性较低的种族群体。其中8人在学术界的数学科学系工作，2人在非数学科学系工作，5人在工业/政府部门工作。

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (SUMSRI) is a program conducted by the Department of Mathematics at Miami University. Each year, SUMSRI prepares about 15 students, recruited from institutions across the nation, for graduate programs in the mathematical sciences by providing them with intensive exposure to research and graduate-level mathematics. At the core of this experience is a seminar in which students conduct research under the guidance of a faculty member; each year, three different seminars are offered and students are placed in seminars according to their interests. The program is supplemented by short courses in Real Analysis, Algebra, Mathematical Writing, and GRE Preparation and a colloquium series featuring (primarily) female and minority mathematical scientists. In the year following their participation in the program, participants are asked to present their research at regional and national meetings, with financial support from SUMSRI.African Americans and Hispanics, who now comprise over 25% of the U.S. population, together received less than 6% of the 500 mathematics PhDs awarded to U.S. citizens in 2009. The percentage of PhDs earned by female U.S. Citizens was slightly over 30% of the total. Because of the shortage of minority and female mathematicians, SUMSRI is especially interested in, but not limited to, underrepresented minorities and women, with the goal of exposing them to research and graduate education in the mathematical sciences. In the past twelve years, SUMSRI has proven its effectiveness in preparing students for the challenges of graduate education. Of the 173 graduates of the program, 45.7% are from underrepresented minority groups; among these, 60.8% are either in a graduate program or have completed a graduate degree, while 11.3% are still undergraduates. Women comprise 75.1% of program graduates, of whom 73.8% are either in a graduate program or have completed a graduate degree, while 11.5% are still undergraduates. SUMSRI can now count 16 graduates who have received the Ph.D. degree; of these, 12 are women and 6 are from underrepresented ethnic groups. Eight of these have found employment in mathematical science departments within academia, 2 in non-mathematical science departments, and 5 in industry / government.
