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

该项目的目标是对数学、统计和计算机科学三个系的本科生和研究生课程进行现代化和整合，以便更好地为本科生在信息时代的学习和工作做好准备，并促进教师和本科生之间跨量化科学内外学科的研究合作。未来的数据科学新学位将由一门顶峰课程加冕，该课程将包含涉及重要科学问题的研究项目，并使用最新的大数据技术。新学位的持有者将能够研究科学前沿的问题，这些问题需要将偏微分方程和其他数学结构的大规模模拟、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.
