IMA New Directions Program: Visitors and Short Courses

摘要奖：DMS-0307274主要研究者：道格拉斯N.阿诺德数学及其应用研究所（IMA）正在启动一项计划，与寻求增加其研究影响并在重要应用领域解决研究问题的知名学术数学家合作。 新方向计划包括两个主要活动：新方向访问教授，这将支持建立学术数学家访问IMA为期几个月，沉浸在年度主题计划，学习新的数学和应用，将他们的研究与重要问题联系起来，并建立新的联系和合作;和新方向短期课程，为期两周的强化课程，数学教师，解决活跃和发展领域的应用。 数学及其应用研究所（IMA）的主要使命是通过促进跨学科研究，将最高水平的数学与其他学科和行业的重要科学和技术问题联系起来，以增加数学的影响。 这个奖项的theIMA有助于支持游客谁是建立在数学研究人员和谁寻求扩大他们的研究到新兴领域的应用。 有关即将到来的计划，新方向教授职位和研讨会的选择标准，以及申请表格的信息可在万维网上获得，网址为http://www.ima.umn.edu/。

AbstractAward: DMS-0307274Principal Investigator: Douglas N. ArnoldThe Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) isinitiating a program to partner with established academicmathematicians who seek to increase the impact of their researchand to take up research problems in areas of significantapplication. The New Directions program consists of two majoractivities: the New Directions Visiting Professorships, whichwill support established academic mathematicians to visit the IMAfor a period of several months, immersing themselves in theannual thematic program, learning new mathematics andapplications, connecting their research with important problems,and establishing new contacts and collaborations; and the NewDirections Short Courses, two-week intensive courses formathematics faculty members that address active and developingareas of application. The first short course in June 2003 isdevoted to Cellular Physiology.The primary mission of the Institute for Mathematics and itsApplications (IMA) is to increase the impact of mathematics byfostering interdisciplinary research, linking mathematics of thehighest caliber and important scientific and technologicalproblems from other disciplines and industry. This award to theIMA helps support visitors who are established researchers inmathematics and who seek to broaden their research into emergingareas of application. Information about upcoming programs,selection criteria for New Directions professorships andworkshops, and application forms are available on the World WideWeb at http://www.ima.umn.edu/.
