The 15th annual Graduate Student Mathematical Modeling Camp (GSMMC) will be held June 12-15, 2019 at the University of Delaware, followed the week after by the 35th annual Mathematical Problems in Industry (MPI) workshop, June 17-21, 2019 at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. GSMMC is a mentored, problem-solving workshop, at which small teams of Ph.D. students from across the U.S. are guided through successful mathematical modeling of real-world problems presented by faculty or experienced postdoctoral mentors. Under careful mentoring, student participants build their modeling, teamwork and presentation skills during the week: via the teamwork on modeling and simulating the problems; through the final team presentations made at the end of the week; and in writing the final reports that are produced. Training activities also include numerical simulations and the preparation of a final report outlining their discoveries. These skills are put to use and consolidated the following week at MPI, where industrial participants present immediate modeling challenges facing their industries, on which academic participants (faculty, postdocs, and the Ph.D. students from GSMMC) work. Significant progress on the industrial problems is usually made, and Ph.D. student participants take the lead in presenting the findings to the participants from industry in final presentations at the week's end. In addition to building their skillsets and resumes, student participants are exposed to valuable networking interactions with a range of industrial participants.The GSMMC-MPI program is designed to integrate interdisciplinary research and education for graduate students. The GSMMC is focused on graduate student education and training: its chief intellectual merit lies in the development and analysis, by students, of the mathematical models for the problems presented. Problems are highly interdisciplinary, presenting students with a novel intellectual challenge. With the preparatory training provided by the GSMMC, students are ready for the more open-ended, research-level environment of MPI. The questions posed at MPI challenge participants to design new ways of modeling and analyzing industrial mathematics problems in emerging areas of technology. Mathematical modeling, analytical techniques, numerical simulations, and data analysis must all be used effectively. The collaborative approach to problem solving, which involves mathematicians ranging from graduate students to experienced faculty, is central to the structure of MPI and provides significant additional training to graduate students, while promoting effective scientific communication.

第15届年度研究生数学建模营（GSMMC）将于2019年6月12日至15日在特拉华大学举行，随后一周将于2019年6月17日至21日在新泽西理工学院举行第35届年度工业数学问题（MPI）研讨会。GSMMC是一个有指导的、解决问题的研讨会，来自美国各地的博士生组成的小团队在教师或经验丰富的博士后导师的指导下，成功地对现实世界的问题进行数学建模。在精心的指导下，学生参与者在一周内建立了他们的建模，团队合作和演示技能：通过团队合作建模和模拟问题；通过在周末做的最后的团队报告；在撰写最终报告的过程中。培训活动还包括数值模拟和编写概述其发现的最后报告。这些技能将在接下来的一周在MPI上得到使用和巩固，在MPI上，工业参与者将展示他们行业面临的直接建模挑战，学术参与者（教职员工、博士后和GSMMC的博士生）将在此基础上工作。通常会在行业问题上取得重大进展，博士生参与者会在周末的期末报告中率先向行业参与者展示研究结果。除了建立他们的技能和简历之外，学生参与者还可以与一系列行业参与者进行有价值的网络互动。GSMMC-MPI计划旨在整合跨学科研究和研究生教育。GSMMC专注于研究生的教育和培训：它的主要智力价值在于学生对所提出问题的数学模型的发展和分析。问题是高度跨学科的，呈现给学生一个新的智力挑战。通过GSMMC提供的预备培训，学生可以为MPI更加开放的研究水平环境做好准备。MPI提出的问题挑战参与者在新兴技术领域设计建模和分析工业数学问题的新方法。数学建模、分析技术、数值模拟和数据分析都必须有效地使用。协作解决问题的方法，涉及数学家从研究生到经验丰富的教师，是MPI结构的核心，并为研究生提供重要的额外培训，同时促进有效的科学交流。这两个活动的全部细节可以在athttps://www.mathsci.udel.edu/events/conferences/gsmmc-2019https://web.njit.edu/~rmoore/MPI2019/MPI2019home.phpThis上找到。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
