Program for Women in Mathematics

女性数学项目是一个每年为期十天的女性指导项目，由高等研究所和普林斯顿大学共同赞助。该计划发生在该研究所每年春天，是由高级妇女在数学组织。 参与者包括本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员，以及作为组织者和讲师的资深女性。 该方案的目标是：1）通过严格的学术方案加强有才华的女数学家的数学教育; 2）通过提供指导和建立广泛的女数学家网络，留住这些妇女。 2004年课程的主题是分析和非线性偏微分方程。 组织者是由普林斯顿大学数学教授孙勇爱丽丝张，和过去几年一样，卡伦乌伦贝克，西德W。Richardson Foundation Regents' Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin.The Program for Women in Mathematics addresses issues facing women at transition points in mathematics. 方案活动包括在与当年的研究课题有关的应用领域的本科生到毕业生的讲座;高级研究生课程旨在介绍当年选择的数学领域的最先进的研究;研究研讨会，参与者介绍他们的研究;问题会议;以及一个妇女参与科学研讨会，其中包括采访该领域的高级妇女，并就感兴趣的主题组织小组讨论。 该方案帮助在实地建立了一个各级妇女网络，她们可以在艰难的职业（和生活）过渡时期相互支持和指导;扩大和加强该网络是该方案的一个持续目标。

The Program for Women in Mathematics is an annual, ten-day mentoring program for women, co-sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. The program takes place at the Institute each spring and is organized by senior women in mathematics. Participants include a mix of undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, as well as established senior women as organizers and lecturers. The goals of the program are: 1) to enhance the mathematics education of talented women mathematicians through a rigorous academic program; and 2) to retain these women in the field by providing mentoring and by establishing an extensive network of women mathematicians. The topic for the 2004 program is Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs. Organizers are by Sun-Yung Alice Chang, Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University, and, as in past years, Karen Uhlenbeck, the Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents' Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin.The Program for Women in Mathematics addresses issues facing women at transition points in mathematics. Program activities include an undergraduate-to-beginning-graduate lecture in an applied area related to the research subject of the year; an advanced graduate course intended as an introduction to state-of-the-art research in that year's chosen field of mathematics; a research seminar in which participants present their research; problem sessions; and a women-in-science seminar that includes interviews with senior women in the field and organized panel discussions on topics of interest. The program has helped to establish a network of women at various levels in the field who can support and mentor one another through difficult career (and life) transition points; expanding and strengthening that network is an ongoing aim of the program.
