本项目是赠款活动下的设备赠款 科学计算研究设备 科学计划。 该项目涉及购买特殊的 专用于支持研究的设备 数学科学 一般来说，这种设备是必需的。 由几个研究项目联合进行，很难 仅凭一个项目。 这项研究设备的支持，从国家科学 基金会与折扣和捐款相结合， 制造商提供的设备， 提交机构。 这个项目提供了一个很好的例子 大学，工业和政府合作， 支持数学科学的基础研究。 该项目中的设备将用于几个 研究项目，包括建模和仿真 感觉生理学中的机械感受器，模式的发展 通过格子动力系统、地形的分形分析， 研究旋流中的非柱状稳定状态，以及 通过闭合的辫子对链接进行分类。

This project is an equipment grant under the activity Grants For Scientific Computing Research Equipment For The Mathematical Sciences program. The project involves the purchase of special purpose equipment dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. In general, this equipment is required jointly by several research projects and would be difficult to justify on one project alone. This research equipment support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions of equipment from manufacturers and significant cost-sharing from the submitting institution. This project provides a good example of university, industrial, and government cooperation in the support of basic research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment in this project will be used for several research projects, including modeling and simulation of mechanoreceptors in sensory physiology, development of patterns by dynamical systems on lattices, fractal analysis of terrain, studies of non-columnar steady states in swirling flows, and classifying links via closed braids.
