Undergraduate Faculty Advancement in Mathematics (FAIM)

两个为期两周的夏季研讨会将举行，以了解 具有新课程理念的本科教授 离散数学、几何学及其应用。 每个领域的领导者，无论是学者还是实践者， 与来自全国各地的50名参与者互动， 使他们能够理解这些数学的新发展， 领域，并准备基于应用的材料， 在他们的教室里使用。 要讨论的领域是问题- 使用组合学和图论解决策略， 图论在社会科学中的应用 离散数学中的算法。在几何中，重点将集中在 关于镶嵌、组合几何和计算几何学的研究 几何 将在国家会议上举行正式后续会议 1989年1月AMS/MAA联合会议，与会者将 讨论培训对他们校园的影响。 这 会议之前将举行两次电话会议， 与会者和专家可以继续对话， 完善在会议上编制的课程材料。 除了NSF基金，参与者的机构将 在旅行费用中，约有20%用于 项目

Two, two-week summer workshops will be held to acquaint undergraduate professors with new curricular ideas in the areas of discrete mathematics, geometry, and their applications. Leaders in each field, both academics and practitioners, will interact with fifty participants from all parts of the Nation to enable them to understand new developments in these mathematical fields and to prepare applications-based materials suitable for use in their classrooms. Areas to be discussed are problem- solving strategies using combinatorics and graph theory, applications of graph theory to social sciences, graphical algorithms in discrete math. In geometry, emphasis will center on tilings, combinatorial geometry, and studies in computational geometry. A formal follow-up session will be held at the national Joint AMS/MAA meeting in January of 1989, where participants will discuss the impact of the training on their campuses. This meeting will be preceded by two teleconferences, during which the participants and the experts can continue their dialogue and refine the curricula materials developed at the conference. In addition to the NSF funds, participants' institutions will contribute about 20% in travel costs to the operation of the project.
