项目摘要

The challenges presented to the scientific community by the complexities of modern society are inherently interdisciplinary. The success of mathematics in underpinning scientific investigation is evident by the fact that mathematics is the 'language of the physical sciences'; however many areas remain an open challenge to the international mathematics community. These include better engagement with the pressing global concerns of climate change and energy (e.g., developing new mathematical tools for dealing with complexity) and broad and challenging scientific goals such as the mathematization of the life sciences (e.g., mathematical models of cognition and perception, data analysis for DNA). The long-term scientific, technological and economic health of the UK requires mathematicians who (i) communicate fluently between the mathematical sub-disciplines, (ii) establish dialogues across discipline boundaries, and (iii) engage with professions and communities outside academe (in industry, commerce, financial sector, government etc). The award of a Platform Grant to the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester will enable the initiation of an internal funding mechanism to initiate, nurture and support new and adventurous research initiatives that address these goals.The creation of a platform account offers an integrative approach to the way mathematics is carried out in the School, and in its application outside the School. This should be seen not just as a fundingvehicle but a process whereby innovative and interdisciplinary research will be continuously stimulated and prosecuted. The platform account would also provide an opportunity to add value to the core research activity in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and probability and statistics within the School.

现代社会的复杂性给科学界带来的挑战本质上是跨学科的。数学是“物理科学的语言”，这一事实证明了数学在支撑科学研究方面的成功；然而，许多领域对国际数学界仍然是一个公开的挑战。这些包括更好地参与气候变化和能源等紧迫的全球问题（例如，开发新的数学工具来处理复杂性）和广泛而具有挑战性的科学目标，如生命科学的数学化（例如，认知和感知的数学模型，DNA的数据分析）。英国的长期科学、技术和经济健康需要数学家能够(i)在数学分支学科之间流畅地沟通，（ii）建立跨学科边界的对话，以及（iii）与学术界以外的专业和社区（工业、商业、金融部门、政府等）接触。曼彻斯特大学数学学院获得的平台资助将启动一个内部资助机制，以启动、培育和支持实现这些目标的新的、冒险的研究计划。平台账户的创建提供了一种综合的方法来了解数学在学校的应用方式，以及它在学校以外的应用。这不仅应被视为一种筹资工具，而且应被视为一个不断刺激和推动创新和跨学科研究的过程。该平台账户还将为学院在纯数学、应用数学和概率与统计方面的核心研究活动提供增值的机会。
