We propose a CDT (MASDOC) in the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics at Warwick. The Centre will provide training in the areas of Applied Mathematics, Computation, Probability and Statistics, together with the important interfaces between these areas. They are not only major areas in the mathematical sciences but are also key to developing the mathematical and statistical methodology that increasingly will be required to meet significant modern challenges arising from applications such as climate change, energy production, nano-sciences for technological and medical applications, molecular modelling of materials, models arising in ecology, epidemiology and data mining.The obvious importance of the mathematical areas and the applied challenges also offers an opportunity to recruit talented students into a novel doctoral training centre that prepares students not only with mathematical science tools but also with skills of quantitative and qualitative study, modelling, teamwork and critical thinking. An innovative Research Study Group component has been designed to prepare a new breed of PhDs who are ready to meet new challenges and develop new mathematical frameworks in response to the demands of the applications rather than simply picking up off-the-shelf methodology. The course structure of MASDOC will provide researchers with cutting-edge tools to exploit and explore the many important and emerging synergies between the four research areas. Research topics will be selected with an emphasis on problems at the interfaces between the areas, in all of which Warwick has world leading experience. An international network of graduate training partner programmes in world leading institutions will allow our students to experience some of the most vibrant research groups in the world, while in return, overseas students will spend periods visiting Warwick, enriching the MASDOC research environment.

我们建议在沃里克的数学和统计系设立一个CDT（MASDOC）。该中心将提供应用数学、计算、概率和统计等领域的培训，以及这些领域之间的重要联系。它们不仅是数学科学的主要领域，而且是发展数学和统计方法的关键，这些方法越来越多地需要满足气候变化、能源生产、技术和医学应用的纳米科学、材料的分子建模、生态学中出现的模型、数学领域和应用挑战的明显重要性也提供了一个机会，可以招募有才华的学生进入一个新的博士培训中心，不仅为学生提供数学科学工具，而且还提供定量和定量分析技能。定性研究，建模，团队合作和批判性思维。一个创新的研究小组的组成部分已被设计为准备谁是准备迎接新的挑战，并开发新的数学框架，以响应应用程序的需求，而不是简单地拿起现成的方法新品种的博士。MASDOC的课程结构将为研究人员提供先进的工具，以利用和探索四个研究领域之间的许多重要和新兴的协同作用。研究课题将选择与问题的重点在接口之间的领域，在所有这些沃里克具有世界领先的经验。世界领先机构的研究生培训合作伙伴计划的国际网络将使我们的学生体验世界上一些最具活力的研究小组，而作为回报，海外学生将花费时间访问沃里克，丰富MASDOC的研究环境。
