Undergraduate Faculty Workshop: The Mechanics of Inverse Problems

大多数经典应用数学，基本上所有的 应用数学的本科培训，主要是由 直接问题，其中给定的原因不断演变成 效果有待确定。 近年来 在反问题方面有大量的研究活动， 也就是说，确定给定结果的原因的问题， 一个有因果关系的进化法则。 为期三天 提供区域讲习班，以了解本科教师 一些特殊的数学和计算 与逆问题相关的困难，并协助 他们在开发课程材料方面的逆 问题后续活动将包括一次特别会议， 在美国数学协会的一次区域会议上的 本次研讨会的大部分支持由 数学科学部

Most of classical applied mathematics, and essentially all of undergraduate training in applied mathematics, is dominated by direct problems in which given causes evolve continuously into effects which are to be determined. In recent years there has been a great deal of research activity in inverse problems, that is, problems of determining a cause of a given effect or a law of evolution given a cause and effect. A three day regional workshop is offered to acquaint undergraduate faculty with some of the peculiar mathematical and computational difficulties associated with inverse problems and to assist them in developing curricular materials on aspects of inverse problems. Follow up activities will include a special session at a regional Mathematical Association of America meeting. The majority of the support for this workshop is being provided by the Division of Mathematical Sciences.
