EXTREEMS-QED: Large Data Analysis and Visualization at the University of Iowa

该项目的目标是使数学系、统计学系和计算机科学系的本科和研究生课程现代化和整合，以使本科生更好地准备在信息时代有效地学习和工作，并促进教师和本科生在定量科学内外跨学科的研究合作。未来的新数据科学学位将以一门顶点课程告终，该课程将包含涉及科学上重要问题的研究项目，并使用最新的大数据技术。新学位的持有者将有能力解决科学前沿的问题，这些问题需要将偏微分方程的大规模模拟和其他数学结构、数据捕获和统计分析以及高性能计算相结合，以提供准确、可靠和有用的预测和描述。

The goals of this project are to modernize and integrate the undergraduate and graduate curricula in the three Departments of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science so as to better prepare undergraduate students to study and work effectively in the information age, and to foster research collaboration among faculty and undergraduate students across disciplinary lines within and beyond the quantitative sciences. The prospective new degree in Data Science will be crowned by a capstone course that will contain research projects involving scientifically important problems and use the latest Big Data techniques.The holders of the new degree will be capable to work on problems at the frontiers of science that require the integration of large-scale simulation of partial differential equations and other mathematical constructs, data capture and statistical analysis, and high performance computing to provide accurate, reliable, and useful forecasts and descriptions.
