EMSW21-VIGRE: The Iowa Mathematics Initiative

爱荷华州大学的数学系和紧密联系的应用数学和计算科学项目（AMCS）将在这个VIGRE（研究和教育的垂直整合）项目上密切合作。 他们将培养高素质的美国人才。S.通过成功整合数学科学的前沿研究和教育，为数学家提供了机会。 该项目建立在数学系和AMCS在识别和专业发展的高度有才华的美国大学的成功。S.本科生和研究生，特别是来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生。 该部门和AMCS将把他们的成功技术，以更广泛的学生与部门和AMCS的进一步纵向和横向整合相结合。 这个项目的一部分是在与一个联盟，中心地带数学合作伙伴关系，数学系和AMCS在爱荷华州和数学系在其他12个地区的学院和大学。 这将使该部门和AMCS增加高度有才华和准备充分的美国学生的数量。S.进入数学科学领域的学生。 这个VIGRE项目包括在部门和AMCS的研究实力领域的垂直整合的研究小组。 它还包括美国的研究经验。S.来自爱荷华州大学和伙伴关系学校的本科生。 最后，它包括研究生培训，博士后助理和研讨会。该项目的成果将广泛传播。 评估将促进项目的持续改进。 这个VIGRE项目经过精心设计，为顶级研究型大学的数学科学部门提供了一个模型。

The Department of Mathematics at the University of Iowa and the closely allied Program in Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences (AMCS) will work closely together on this VIGRE (Vertical Integration of Research and Education) project. They will train high-quality U. S. mathematicians through successful integration of cutting-edge research and education in the mathematical sciences. The project builds on the successes that the Department of Mathematics and AMCS have had in the identification and professional development of highly talented U. S. undergraduate and graduate students, in particular students from underrepresented minority groups. The Department and AMCS will bring their successful techniques to a broader range of students in combination with further vertical and horizontal integration of the Department and AMCS. Parts of this project are in cooperation with a coalition, The Heartland Mathematics Partnership, of the Department of Mathematics and AMCS at the University of Iowa and the departments of mathematics at twelve other area colleges and universities. This will allow the Department and AMCS to increase the number of highly talented and well-prepared U. S. students who enter a career in the mathematical sciences. This VIGRE project includes vertically integrated research groups in areas of research strength in the Department and AMCS. It also includes research experiences for U. S. undergraduates from the University of Iowa and schools in the Partnership. Finally, it includes Graduate Traineeships, Postdoctoral Associates, and Workshops. Results of the project will be widely disseminated. Assessment will facilitate continuous improvement of the project. This VIGRE project has been carefully designed to provide a model for mathematical sciences departments at top research universities.
