Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute

暑期本科生数学科学研究所(SUMSRI)由美国国家科学基金会和美国国家安全局资助，旨在为参与者为严格的研究生院学习做准备。我们认为，这一准备工作将帮助学员成功竞争并完成研究生课程。首席调查者：Vasant Waikarand Patrick Dowling，迈阿密大学数学和统计系教授。SUMSRI将被安置在俄亥俄州牛津的迈阿密大学。我们特别感兴趣的是，但不限于，非裔美国人和其他在数学科学界代表性不足的少数族裔和妇女。SUMSRI将为大约15名全国选定的数学天才本科生提供密集的研究体验。该研究所的主要目标是说服参与的学生攻读数学科学博士等高级学位。我们还将鼓励与会者参加国家会议(例如，AMS-MAA冬季会议、非洲裔美国人数学家会议(CAARMS)、SIAM会议、NAM Mathfest、MAA Mathfest、美国统计协会会议、Pi Mu Epsilon会议)和演讲或海报演示。在这七周里，学生们将参加数学、统计学或计算机科学的研究研讨会。每周至少举行一次座谈会。我们还将就有关研究生院、奖学金来源和数学科学职业机会的信息进行小组讨论。该计划还将包括一次技术写作研讨会，一次GRE准备研讨会，以及两门抽象代数和实分析的短期课程。该学院寻找以优异成绩完成至少两年本科生数学课程的成熟学生。SUMSRI将为每位参与者提供住宿、食宿、书籍、用品、一张往返机票和2500美元的津贴。强烈鼓励少数族裔和妇女申请。

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Science Research Institute (SUMSRI) which is funded by the NSF, and the NSA, is designed to prepare participants for the rigor of graduate school. We feel that thispreparation will help participants to successfully compete for and complete the graduate school. The Principal Investigators: Vasant Waikarand Patrick Dowling, are professors at Miami University in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. SUMSRI will be housed at Miami U. in Oxford,Ohio. We are especially interested in, but not limited to, African Americans and other underrepresented minorities and women in the mathematical sciences. SUMSRI will provide approximately 15 nationally selected, and mathematically talented undergraduate students an intensive research experience. The primary goal of the institute is to convince participating students to pursue advanced degrees like a Ph.D. in themathematical sciences. We will also encourage participants to attend national meetings (for example, the AMS-MAA Winter Meeting,the Conference of African American Researchers in the MathematicalSciences (CAARMS), SIAM meetings, NAM Mathfest, MAA Mathfest, American Statistical Association Meeting, Pi Mu Epsilon meetings) and give talks or poster presentations.The institute will run for seven weeks in the summer of 2001. During these seven weeks the students will participate in research seminars in mathematics, statistics, or computer science. At least one colloquium talk will be given each week. We will also have panel discussions on information about graduate school, fellowship sources, and career opportunities in the mathematical sciences. The program will also includea technical writing seminar, a GRE preparation workshop, and two short courses in abstract algebra and real analysis. The institute seeks mature students who have completed at least two years of undergraduatemathematics with distinction. SUMSRI will provide each participant with room, board, books, supplies, one round trip ticket, and a $2500 stipend. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply.
