POWRE: Visiting Professorship for Research and Teaching in Ramsey Theory

该项目将使首席研究员伊莱恩·特里有机会在田纳西州孟菲斯大学担任2000-01学年的客座教授。POWRE奖将给她充分的机会来加强她的研究努力。该奖项的独特之处在于，它将使PI有机会在她的研究领域--拉姆齐理论--开发一门本科数学课程。在一年的休假期间，PI将从三个方面促进她的专业发展：(1)使她能够进行出版研究；(2)与知名研究人员建立研究联系；(3)为本科生开发一个关于拉姆齐理论的研讨会课程。这将使PI有时间在一个支持与拉姆齐理论中的其他研究人员进行重大互动的环境中实现她的研究目标。这种与同一领域的同事非正式交流思想的机会，以及通过该领域内其他领域的研讨会进行接触的机会，将促进她的研究采取创造性的方法。该POWRE项目由数学科学部(DMS)和MPS多学科活动办公室(OMA)提供支持。

This project will allow the principal investigator, Elaine Terry, the opportunity to spend the 2000-01 academic year as a Visiting Professor at the University of Memphis in Tennessee. The POWRE award will give her ample opportunity to enhance her research efforts. The award is unique in that it will give the PI the opportunity to develop an undergraduate mathematics course in her field of research, Ramsey theory. During the one year leave of absence, the PI will facilitate her professional advancement in three ways: (1) enable her to conduct research for publication, (2) establish research ties with prominent researchers, and (3) develop a seminar course in Ramsey theory for undergraduates. It will allow the PI time to pursue her research objectives in an environment supportive of significant interactions with other researchers in Ramsey theory. This opportunity for informal exchange of ideas with colleagues in the same field, and for exposure through seminars in other areas within the field will foster creative approaches to her research. This POWRE project is supported by the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS) and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA).
