Mathematical Science: SACNAS Mathematical Sciences Summer Institute

摘要：1996年康奈尔大学数学科学暑期学院（SMSSI）是一个为期六周的暑期项目，由美国奇卡诺人与美洲原住民科学促进会（SACNAS）联合组织，并得到了美国国家安全局、康奈尔大学教务长办公室和美国国家科学基金会的支持。SMSSI将邀请20至30名墨西哥裔、拉丁裔和美洲原住民本科生到康奈尔大学进行为期六周的数学生物学暑期强化课程。1996年SMSSI将于1996年6月17日至7月26日举行。参加者将获得往返纽约伊萨卡的交通、食宿和2000美元的津贴。该计划是为1996年将完成大二或大三的本科生设计的。数学、生物或相关专业的学生，学过一年微积分的学生，有资格申请。1996年研究所的学术内容由首席研究员Castillo-Chavez教授设计，他是康奈尔大学领先的数学生物学家，也是数学生物学协会的董事会成员。重点将放在研究人口动力学的数学理论及其在人口学、生态学、流行病学和进化生物学中的应用。SMSSI将包括动力系统和随机过程研讨会，与理论生物学研究密切相关的写作研讨会，与小组研究项目相关的数学模型的分析和数值模拟，申请研究生入学和资助的研讨会，以及邀请数学家和科学家举行的座谈会。申请也可以通过电话：408-459-4272或电子邮件：sacnas@cats.ucsc.edu向SACNAS办公室提出。有关该计划的更多信息，可通过电话310-338-5113或通过电子邮件hmedina@lmumail.lmu.edu与赫伯特·a·梅迪纳联系，或通过电话607-255-5488或通过电子邮件cc32@cornell.edu与卡洛斯·卡斯蒂略·查韦斯联系。

Castillo-Chavez 9600027 ABSTRACT The 1996 SACNAS Mathematical Sciences Summer Institute (SMSSI) is a six-week summer program at Cornell University organized in conjunction with the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) and the support of the National Security Agency, Cornell University's Provost Office and the National Science Foundation. SMSSI will bring between 20 and 30 Chicano, Latino and Native American undergraduates to Cornell University for an intensive six-week summer program in mathematical biology. The 1996 SMSSI will take place between June 17 - July 26, 1996. Participants will receive round-trip transportation to Ithaca, NY, room and board, and a $2000 stipend. The program is designed for undergraduates who will complete their sophomore or junior year during 1996. Students majoring in mathematics, biology, or related fields and who have had a year of calculus, are eligible to apply. The academic content of the 1996 Institute has been designed by Principal Investigator Professor Castillo-Chavez, a leading mathematical biologist at Cornell University and a member of the Board of Directors of the Society for Mathematical Biology. Emphasis will be placed on studying the mathematical theory of population dynamics and its applications to demography, ecology, epidemiology, and evolutionary biology. The SMSSI will include dynamical systems and stochastic processes seminars, a writing seminar intimately connected to the study of theoretical biology, analysis and numerical simulations of mathematical models associated with group research projects, workshops on applying for admissions and funding for graduate school, and colloquia given by invited mathematicians and scientists. Applications may also be requested from the SACNAS office by phone: 408-459-4272 or e-mail: sacnas@cats.ucsc.edu. Additional information about the program may be obtained by contacting Herbert A. Medina by phone at 310-338-5113 or via e-mail a t hmedina@lmumail.lmu.edu or Carlos Castillo-Chavez by phone at 607-255-5488 or via e-mail at cc32@cornell.edu.
