TUES: A New Curriculum in Applied and Computational Mathematics

该项目支持编写四本教科书和四本开放内容的计算机实验室手册，并为应用与计算数学（ACM）新的高年级本科课程提供配套材料，这将使数学专业现代化，并更好地将其与更广泛的STEM社区相结合。杨百翰大学（Brigham Young University）正在将新课程作为一项新的学位课程进行试点。这些教科书由一家国家出版社出版，实验手册和辅助材料将在网上免费提供。评估和评价计划主要关注学生的学习情况、学生对课程的需求以及雇主对课程毕业生的兴趣。新课程将数学分析、算法设计和数学建模带入了纯科学和应用科学跨学科研究的前沿。科学计算是在大数据和高性能计算的背景下教授的。该项目创建了一个现代化的本科课程，为学生成为世界级的问题解决者和跨学科创新者提供了基础。这将提高学生对应用数学和计算数学的兴趣和参与度，并扩大数学科学领域年轻学者的培养渠道，使他们有能力面对21世纪的挑战，并成为具有全球竞争力的STEM劳动力中的领导者。

This project supports the creation of four textbooks and four open-content computer lab manuals with supporting materials for a new upper-division undergraduate curriculum in Applied and Computational Mathematics (ACM) that will modernize the mathematics major and better integrate it with the broader STEM community. The new curriculum is being piloted at Brigham Young University as a new degree program.The textbooks are being published by a national publisher, and both the lab manuals and supporting materials will be made freely available online. The assessment and evaluation plans focus primarily on student learning, student demand for the program, and employer interest in graduates of the program.The new curriculum brings mathematical analysis, algorithm design, and mathematical modeling into the forefront of interdisciplinary study in the pure and applied sciences. Scientific computing is taught in the context of big data and high performance computing.The project creates a modern undergraduate curriculum which provides the foundation that students need to become world-class problem solvers and interdisciplinary innovators. This should increase student interest and participation in applied and computational mathematics, and expand the pipeline of young scholars in the mathematical sciences who are well equipped to face the challenges of the 21st Century and become leaders in the globally competitive STEM workforce.
