Project S.C.A.M.P.; Science, Computers,and Mathematics Professions

北方伊利诺伊大学将启动为期3周的 为32名年级学生提供青年学者住宿项目 7-9在数学上。 数学的发展和应用 模型是科学研究不可或缺的一部分。 最近 技术的发展提供了新的工具， 数学建模，包括图形计算器和 微型计算机 该项目的重点是熟悉 数学建模及其在许多方面的作用 不同领域的科学奋进。 通过让学生 各种各样的科学家和数学家， 数学建模在他们的工作，该项目将 尽可能激发对科学学科的兴趣， 现实的职业选择，让学生意识到 这些职业所需的学术准备。 这 项目，以数学建模为主题， 介绍其他学科的经验，旨在 才能做到这一点 项目的每一个周期， 为期一年，将包括一个为期三周的住宿营地 7月和8月期间的后续活动 学年，以及为期一周的住宿营 在接下来的六月。

Northern Illinois University will initiate a 3-week residential Young Scholars project for 32 students in grades 7-9 in mathematics. The development and use of mathematical models in integral to scientific research. Recent technological developments have provided new tools for mathematical modeling including graphing calculators and microcomputers. The focus of this project is to familiarize students with mathematical modeling and its role in many diverse areas of scientific endeavor. By exposing students to a variety of scientists and mathematicians using mathematical modeling in their work, the project will stimulate interest in science disciplines as possible and realistic career choices and make the students aware of the academic preparation necessary for such careers. This project, using the theme of mathematical modeling as an introduction to experiences in other disciplines, is designed to do precisely that. Each cycle of the project, lasting one year, will consist of a three-week residential camp during July and August, follow-up activities during the academic year, and a culminating one-week residential camp during the following June.
