International Workshop in the Natural Sciences and Their Methodology: Lima, Peru, August, 1989

5名美国科学家参加将于8月10日至18日在秘鲁利马举行的自然科学及其方法论国际研讨会的这项建议，由美国国家科学基金会赞助，作为发展中国家科学计划的一部分，并与纽约州立大学皇后学院和秘鲁国家科学技术委员会(CONCYTEC-秘鲁)合作。来自其他国家的与会者的资金来自国际科学理事会/教科文组织以及各种国际和国家研究组织和大学。这个多学科的研讨会选择了物理学、生物学和科学基础的主题，旨在促进来自美国、秘鲁和其他有共同研究兴趣的国家的科学家之间新的专业联系。秘鲁参会者将在秘鲁国际学生联合会的帮助下选出。其目的是向秘鲁教员提供当今日益相互关联的自然科学观点的最新图景，重点是改进大学一级数学和自然科学普通课程的教学方法。将涵盖的科学包括：生物学；生物化学；物理学；进化研究；科学教育；数学；行为研究；人工智能；天文学；以及科学哲学和科学史。

This proposal for the participation of five U.S. scientists in an international workshop in the natural sciences and their methodology to be held in Lima, Peru, August 10-18 1989, is sponsored by NSF as part of the Science in Developing Countries Program, in conjunction with Queens College of CUNY, and the Peruvian National Council for Science and Technology (CONCYTEC-Peru). Funding for participants from other countries is coming from ICSU/UNESCO and a variety of international and national research organizations and universities. This multiple discipline workshop in selected topic in physics, biology, and the foundations of science, aims at stimulating new professional contacts among scientists from the US, Peru, and other countries who share common research interests. Peruvian participants will be selected with the help of CONCYTEC-Peru. The object is to provide Peruvian faculty with an up-dated picture of today's increasingly inter-connected scientific view of the natural world, with emphasis on improved approaches to the teaching of general courses at the college level mathematics and the natural sciences. Sciences to be covered include; biology; biochemistry; physics; evolutionary studies; science education; mathematics; behavioral studies; artificial intelligence; astronomy; and philosophy and history of science.
