Vertical Integration of Research and Education in the Mathematical Sciences - VIGRE: Vertical Integration in the Mathematical Sciences at The Ohio State University

数学科学：俄亥俄州立大学数学科学的垂直整合摘要DMS-0135308 March俄亥俄州立大学数学系的VIGRE项目旨在通过将本科生、研究生、博士后和教师组成的工作组聚集在一起，使数学科学受益。该项目将实施策略，使研究生和本科生在比平时更早的阶段进入研究环境，并使他们熟悉更多的教师。它将增加研究生和本科生、博士后、初级教师和高级教师之间的互动。一年级的研究生将参加一门名为“邀请研究”的课程，该课程由许多不同的教师讲授，包括一系列简短的讲座，在非正式的环境中提供对数学各个领域的一瞥。从第二年开始，学生将参与工作组轮换，使他们全年熟悉不同的数学领域，不同的研究风格和不同的教师。研究生的专业发展是通过训练他们有效的数学交流的课程来完成的。这些举措将提高研究生课程的效率，减少学生获得博士学位所需的时间，并提高他们在学术界和工业界的就业机会。博士后将参与VIGRE的所有活动。本科生将参与工作组活动，高中学生和教师的罗斯夏季数学计划，以及由俄亥俄州立大学赞助的全国本科生数学研究会议。

NSF Award Abstract - DMS-0135308 Mathematical Sciences: Vertical Integration in the Mathematical Sciences at The Ohio State University AbstractDMS-0135308 March The VIGRE program of the Department of Mathematics at the Ohio State University is designed to benefit the mathematical sciences by bringing together working groups consisting of undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty. The program will implement strategies for introducing both graduate students and undergraduate students to the research environment at a much earlier stage than usual and acquainting them with a greater number of faculty. It will increase the interactions between graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and senior faculty. First-year graduate students will take a course, Invitation to Research, consisting of a number of short lecture series, taught by many different faculty, providing a glimpse into the various areas of mathematics in an informal setting. Beginning in their second year, students will be involved in Working Group Rotations that acquaint them with different areas of mathematics, different research styles, and different faculty throughout the year. The graduate students' professional development is rounded out with courses that train them in effective communication of mathematics. These initiatives will enhance the effectiveness of the graduate program, lessen the time students require to obtain a Ph.D., and improve their employment opportunities in academia and in industry.Postdoctoral fellows will participate in the full spectrum of VIGRE activities. Undergraduate students will be involved in working group activities, in the Ross Summer Mathematics Program for high school students and teachers, and in a National Undergraduate Mathematics Research Conference that will be sponsored by Ohio State University.
