Mathematical Sciences: Applied Mathematics Graduate ResearchTraineeship

国家科学基金会的主要目标 研究生研究培训计划是为了增加 有才华的美国本科生在攻读博士学位， 科学和工程的关键和新兴领域。 建议 向现有设施和 工作人员可以容纳更多的博士研究生。 高质量的节目。 该计划还旨在 有助于加强全国的人力资源基础， 所有地理部门和所有代表性不足的群体。 研究生研究培训奖学金是学生的一揽子计划， 支持. 获得该奖项的高校有 负责培训生的选拔，培训生的保留， 和实习管理。 伦斯勒理工学院将支持博士学位。学生 在应用数学;该计划解决了以下问题 关注的问题：（a）应用数学家的学术需要， 为学生提供学术培训，（B）工业需要 应用数学家来保持美国的工业竞争力， 以及（c）需要增加妇女和少数民族博士的人数。 应用数学家 参加该项目的学生将学习 数学建模，数值计算，外部（除了 数学）领域，以及更多的实质性背景 传统的数学领域。 该计划包括学生 参加关于数学问题的讲习班和小组讨论， 学生可以与学生教师团队合作的行业， 解决工业问题。 目前部门研究的领域 包括物理数学和建模，非线性分析， 科学计算、数学规划和运算 研究和应用几何学。

The principal objective of the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Traineeship Program is to increase the numbers of talented U.S. undergraduates enrolling in doctoral programs in critical and emerging areas of science and engineering. Proposals were solicited from institutions whose existing facilities and staff could accommodate additional graduate students in Ph.D. programs of high quality. The program is also intended to contribute to strengthening the Nation's human resource base across all geographic sectors and among all under-represented groups. Graduate Research Traineeship awards are packages of student support. The colleges and universities that receive the awards are responsible for the selection of trainees, retention of trainees, and administration of traineeships. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will support Ph.D. students in applied mathematics; the program addresses the following concerns: (a) the academic need for applied mathematicians to provide academic training of students, (b) the industrial need for applied mathematicians to maintain U.S. industrial competitiveness, and (c) the need to increase the number of women and minority Ph.D. applied mathematicians. Students in the program will learn mathematical modeling, numerical computing, an outside (other than mathematical) area, as well as a substantial background in the more traditional areas of mathematics. The program includes student participation in workshops and panels on mathematical problems in industry where students can work with student-faculty teams to solve industrial problems. Current areas of departmental research include physical mathematics and modeling, nonlinear analysis, scientific computation, mathematical programming and operations research, and applied geometry.
