IAS/Park City Math Institute Undergraduate Summer School

描述(申请人提供)：日期：2005年6月26日-7月16日。参与者类型；本科生。目标和主题：为30-40名本科生和20名本科生开设了一个为期三周的数学生物学强化暑期学院。我们建议每天开设三门创新的当代课程，讨论数学生物学中最重要的主题，以及第四门课程(在本科教师计划中)，重点是数学教师准备为数学生物学生提供数学课程所必需的生物知识。暑期学院课程的讲师每年都是从著名的研究数学家中挑选出来的，这些数学家被认为是各自领域中最好的讲解者之一。2005年，美国海军陆战队的讲师将是：利塞特·德·皮利斯(哈维·穆德学院)“具有最优控制的癌症建模”，弗雷德·阿德勒(犹他大学)“动力学、疾病和多样性”，以及伊丽莎白·奥尔曼(南缅因州大学)和约翰·罗兹(贝茨学院)。奥尔曼和罗兹将联合开设一门课程“系统发育树的数学”。此外，本科生的学院课程将由约翰泰森(弗吉尼亚理工大学)《数学家分子细胞生物学导论》提供。此外，还计划与在同一地点同时举办的研究生暑期学校和数学生物学研究计划，以及针对中学和中学数学教师的计划，进行大量的互动。与会者还将听取两位克莱数学研究所高级常驻学者的介绍：普林斯顿大学的西蒙·莱文和纽约大学库兰特研究所的查尔斯·佩斯金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dates June 26-July 16, 2005. Type of participants; undergraduate students. Goals and Topics: A three-week intensive Summer Institute in mathematical biology is proposed for 30-40 undergraduate students and 20 undergraduate faculty. We propose 3 innovative, contemporary courses meet daily on topics of central importance in mathematical biology, as well as a fourth course (in the Undergraduate Faculty Program) focused on the biological knowledge necessary for mathematics faculty preparing to offer mathematics courses for math biology students. The instructors for the Summer Institute courses are chosen each year from among eminent research mathematicians noted as among the best expositors in their field. In 2005, the USS lecturers will be Lisette de Pillis (Harvey Mudd College) "Cancer Modeling with Optimal Control," Fred Adler (University of Utah) "Dynamics, Diseases, and Diversity," and Elizabeth Allman (University of Southern Maine) and John Rhodes (Bates College). Allman and Rhodes will jointly offer one course "The Mathematics of Phylogenetic Trees." In addition, the Undergraduate Faculty Program course will be offered by John Tyson (Virginia Polytechnic University) "An Introduction to Molecular Cell Biology for Mathematicians." In addition, considerable interaction is planned with a Graduate Summer School and Research Program in Mathematical Biology occurring simultaneously in the same location, as well as a program for secondary and middle school mathematics teachers. Participants will also have access to the presentations of 2 Clay Mathematics Institute Senior Scholars-in-Residence: Simon Levin of Princeton University and Charles Peskin of Courant Institute, New York University.
