EMSW21-VIGRE at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

摘要：威斯康星大学VIGRE项目美国数学专业的学生和教师严重短缺。这已被学术界和工业界确定为一个主要的担忧来源。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校VIGRE计划旨在通过以数学系为中心的各种综合活动，解决一些关键的管道问题，这些问题是这种情况的基础。我们将提供学年合作本科生研究实验室（卷发），以及本科生暑期研究经验（reu）。VIGRE奖学金将提供给有前途的国内研究生，我们将组织夏季加强项目，培养初学研究生。我们还将提供VIGRE博士后奖学金，这将在减少教学和大量教师指导的情况下提高我们的常规教学职位。我们的VIGRE项目还将为研究生在工业和国家实验室建立实习机会。我们建议利用VIGRE的支持，在过去成功的基础上，扩大威斯康辛人才搜索，吸引有才华的高中生进入数学和科学领域。此外，我们还将组织各种互动活动，包括扩展的棕包研讨会、数学俱乐部、研究生参与研讨会、数学主要趋势系列讲座等。我们的VIGRE计划将使本科生和研究生享受一个增强的学习经验，包括研究项目，实习，研讨会和许多其他活动。更广泛地说，VIGRE项目将在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校培养一种综合奖学金的感觉，包括学生、博士后和教师。VIGRE资助将大大提高我们吸引和留住有才华的学生和博士后的能力，特别是来自女性和代表性不足的群体。这也将是一个根本性的催化剂，进一步建立指导年轻同事的教学和研究的永久传统，并加深我们与其他学科的互动。通过我们的reu，全国的本科生将从我们的研究活动中受益。威斯康辛州的科学、工程和数学专业的学生将受益于VIGRE活动带来的课程变化。我们在当地高中扩大人才搜索和其他拓展计划将有助于吸引新一代进入我们的学科。

Abstract: University of Wisconsin VIGRE Program There is a critical shortage of US students and faculty in mathematics.This has been identified as a major source of concern by both academiaand industry. The UW-Madison VIGRE Program seeks to address a number ofcritical pipeline issues which underlie this situation, via a variety of integrated activities centered in the Department of Mathematics. We will offer academic year collaborative undergraduate research labs (CURLs), as well as summer research experiences for undergraduates (REUs). VIGRE fellowships will be offered to promising domestic graduate students, and we will organize summer enhancement programs for training beginning graduate students. We will also offer VIGRE Posdoctoral Fellowships, which enhance our regular teaching positions with reduced teaching and substantial faculty mentoring. Our VIGRE program will also establish internships for graduate students in industry and in national labs.We propose to use VIGRE support to expand the Wisconsin Talent Search,building on its past success, to attract talented high school studentsinto mathematics and science. In addition we will organize a variety ofinteractive activities, including an expanded Brown Bag Seminar, MathClub, Graduate Participation Seminars, Major Trends in Mathematics lecture series, etc. Our VIGRE program will enable undergraduate and graduate students to enjoy an enhanced learning experience, including research projects, internships, seminars and many other activities. More generally the VIGRE program will foster a sense of integrated scholarship at UW-Madison, involving students, postdocs and faculty. The VIGRE grant will significantly enhance our ability to attract and retain talented students and postdocs, especially from women and underrepresented groups. It will also be a fundamental catalyst towards further establishing a permanent tradition of mentoring young colleagues in teaching and research, as well as deepening our interactions with other disciplines. Through our REUs, undergraduates nation-wide will benefit from our research activities. Science, engineering and math students at Wisconsin will benefit from curricular changes arising from VIGRE activities. Our expanded talent search and other outreach plans at local high schools will help attract new generations into our discipline.
