The Carleton College Summer Mathematics Program

卡尔顿学院的数学教师将在接下来的三个暑假继续为18名有才华的本科生女性提供为期四周的强化暑期数学课程。该计划的工作人员将是活跃的专业人员和优秀的教师数学家。学生们将沉浸在数学中，生活和工作在一个由热衷于学习和做数学的女学者(本科生、研究生和研究生)组成的支持性社区中。该项目的目的是激发这些年轻女性对数学和数学职业的兴趣，为她们提供在数学职业生涯中取得成功所需的工具，让她们融入女性数学家同行网络，并推动她们获得更高的数学学位。以前的暑期数学项目(前身为卡尔顿和圣奥拉夫学院的暑期数学项目)的影响和成功与否，是通过80%的毕业生获得数学高级学位或职业(65%继续攻读研究生)以及参与者在项目后的评估来衡量的。计划：学生将参加两门课程，课程在工作日上午举行，由女性讲师和助教指导。在每堂课上，学生将被介绍微积分以外的数学领域，这些领域通常是学生在标准的本科数学课程中没有机会学习的。过去这些课程的主题包括代数编码理论、图论、低维动力系统和泛函分析。通过这些课程和布置的家庭作业，学生将有机会提高他们的猜想和证明以及书面和口头陈述的技能。学生将不会获得这些课程的学分或分数。在课程结束时，每个学生都会收到导师对她的表现和成就的书面评价。其他活动：每周将为那些想要解决有趣问题的学生提供娱乐性问题解决。在项目期间，使用计算机进行通信和计算将是日常工作。每周二下午都会有一个关于学生继续获得奖学金的话题的讨论：数学专业的成功，职业选择，研究生项目的选择和生存，以及成为一名女科学家。每周二和周四都会有一个关于数学刺激领域的座谈会。学院：Carleton耗资650万美元的数学与计算中心和她的教职员工因其专业活动和对本科教育的承诺而受到认可，这些特点使诺斯菲尔德成为这个暑期项目的一个有吸引力的地点。

Mathematics faculty from Carleton College will continue their intensive four-week summer mathematics program for eighteen talented undergraduate women in each of the next three summers. The program will be staffed by mathematicians who are active professionals and outstanding teachers. The students will immerse themselves in mathematics, living and working in a supportive community of women scholars (undergraduates, graduates, and post-graduates) who are passionate about learning and doing mathematics. The program's intent is to excite these young women about mathematics and mathematical careers, to provide them with the tools they will need to succeed in a mathematical career, to plug them into a network of fellow female mathematicians, and to propel them on to advanced degrees in mathematics. The impact and success of previous Summer Mathematics Programs (formerly known as the Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges' Summer Mathematics Program), is measured both by the fact that 80% of the graduates have gone on to advanced degrees or careers in mathematics (65% have gone on to graduate school), as well as by the participants' post-program evaluations. The Program: Students will attend two courses which meet on weekday mornings and are led by female instructors and teaching assistants. In each of the classes, the students will be introduced to fields of mathematics beyond calculus that students usually do not have the opportunity to study in a standard undergraduate mathematics program. Topics for these courses in the past have included algebraic coding theory, graph theory, low-dimensional dynamical systems, and functional analysis. Through these courses, and the homework assigned in them, the students will have the opportunity to improve their skills in conjecture and proof and written and oral presentation. Students will not receive course credit for, or grades in, these courses. Each student will receive, at the close of the program, written evaluations of her performance and accomplishments from her instructors.Other Activities: Recreational problem solving will be offered each week for those students who want to work on solving interesting problems. Use of the computer for communication and computation will be a daily routine during the program. Each Tuesday afternoon there will be a discussion on a topic pertaining to the students' continued scholarship: succeeding as a math major, career options, choosing and surviving a graduate program, and being a woman scientist. Each Tuesday and Thursday there will be a colloquium on a stimulating area of mathematics. The Colleges: Carleton's $6.5 million Center for Mathematics and Computing and her faculty which are recognized for their professional activities and commitment to undergraduate education are among the attributes that make Northfield an attractive location for this summer program.
