San Francisco State University-Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Collaboration for Education

该项目将在美国最大的少数族裔学生教育中心之一旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU）数学系和世界领先的数学研究中心之一数学科学研究所（MSRI）之间建立长期合作。研究中心。 每学期这种合作将围绕一个本科主题课程在SFSU的基础上在MSRI该学期的重点项目之一。 SFSU-MSRI合作将由SFSU数学系的一名教师授课（每学期不同的人）。 这个人将在学期期间参加与所选主题相关的MSRI计划，并将作为SFSU学生和MSRI研究数学家之间的桥梁。 SFSU-MSRI合作课程将每月由访问MSRI参加其计划的领先数学家进行讲座。SFSU-MSRI合作课程的所有讲座将通过MSRI的流媒体视频技术向全世界提供。 这种技术是由MSRI在万维网上发布数学讲座时首创的，它使用一个浏览器窗口来显示演讲的幻灯片，另一个浏览器窗口在声音流畅的同时显示演讲者。 由于研究数学家很少向本科生推销工作，因为他们将在SFSU-MSRI合作课程，整套讲座将在CD-ROM上提供，以便传播到其他大学。因此，SFSU的学生和教师可以有所需的图书馆资源，以准备MSRI计划，数学书籍将购买SFSU图书馆。 每学期，SFSU将强调为图书馆购买与该学期SFSU-MSRI合作课程主题相关的书籍。该项目每年还将支持四名SFSU研究生。 这些学生将在MSRI每学期参加各种活动。SFSU将成为MSRI的学术赞助商。 会员福利包括派遣两名研究生，支付费用，MSRI暑期课程，邀请MSRI的演讲者，部分支付费用，收到预印本系列，以及会议的财政支持。

This project will establish a long-term collaboration between the Mathematics Department of San Francisco State University (SFSU), one of the country's largest centers of education for minority students, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), one of the world's leading mathematical research centers. Each semester this collaboration will revolve around an undergraduate topics course at SFSU based on one of the emphasis programs at MSRI that semester. The SFSU-MSRI collaboration will be taught by a faculty member in the SFSU Mathematics Department (a different person each semester). This person will participate in the MSRI program associated with the chosen topic during the semester and will act as a bridge between SFSU students and the research mathematicians at MSRI. The SFSU-MSRI collaboration course will feature monthly talks by leading mathematicians who are visiting MSRI to participate in its program. All lectures in the SFSU-MSRI collaboration course will be made available to the world through MSRI's streaming video technology. This technique, pioneered by MSRI for publishing mathematical lectures on the World Wide Web, uses one browser window to show the slides of the talk and another to show the speaker while the sound flows smoothly. Because research mathematicians rarely pitch work to undergraduates, as they will in the SFSU-MSRI collaboration course, the entire set of lectures will be made available on CD-ROM for dissemination to other universities. So that SFSU students and faculty can have the library resources needed to prepare for MSRI programs, mathematics books will be purchased for the SFSU library. Each semester, SFSU will emphasize the purchase of books for the library related to the topic of that semester's SFSU-MSRI collaboration course. This project also will support four SFSU graduate students each year. These students will participate in various activities at MSRI each semester. SFSU will become an Academic Sponsor of MSRI. Membership benefits include sending two graduate students, expenses paid, to the MSRI Summer Program, inviting speakers from MSRI with expenses partially paid, receiving the preprint series, and financial support for conferences.
