Mathematical Sciences: Bryn Mawr-Spellman Summer Mathematics Program

Bryn Mawr-Spelman暑期数学计划是一个为期六周的暑期研究计划，面向来自Bryn Mawr，Spelman和地区学院的大一和大二女性，旨在识别和鼓励有才华的女性追求数学科学的职业生涯。 该计划将建立在过去三个夏天在布林莫尔举行的“前REU”计划的基础上，并以该计划为模型，并将补充学者 在Spelman的数学课程。 八名学生将进行研究，其主要重点是使用计算机进行实验和探索;他们将得到刚刚开始数学科学研究生课程的校友导师的帮助。 该计划的其他特点包括每周举行一次关于数学研究问题的圆桌讨论， 教学，在学年期间在学生各自的部门担任助教，参加全国AMS-MAA会议，鼓励参加REU 或夏季实习计划下一个夏天，并指导和建议有关的决定参加研究生院以及一个适当的研究生课程的选择。 暑期课程将在Spelman学院的校园里举行。 该计划建立在布林莫尔学院和斯佩尔曼学院现有本科课程的基础上，并对这两所学院进行了补充， 1984年开始的大学。 预计该计划将成为其他早期干预和本科交流计划的典范。

The Bryn Mawr-Spelman Summer Mathematics Program is a six-week summer research program for freshman and sophomore women from Bryn Mawr, Spelman, and area colleges, with the goal of identifying and encouraging talented women to pursue careers in the mathematical sciences. The program would build on and be modeled after a "pre-REU" program that has taken place at Bryn Mawr for the past three summers and would complement the Scholars in Mathematics Program at Spelman. Eight students would conduct research whose primary focus is experimentation and exploration using the computer; they would be aided by alumnae mentors who are just beginning graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. Other features of the program include weekly roundtable discussions on issues in mathematics research and teaching, employment as teaching assistants in the students' respective departments during the academic year, travel to a national AMS-MAA meeting, encouragement to participate in an REU or summer internship program the following summer, and mentoring and advice regarding the decision to attend graduate school as well as the choice of an appropriate graduate program. The Summer Program will be held for the next two years on the campus of Spelman College. The program builds on and complements existing undergraduate programs at both Bryn Mawr and Spelman Colleges and enhances an exchange program between the colleges that began in 1984. It is anticipated that this program would serve as a model for other early intervention and exchange programs at the undergraduate level.
