Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute

夏季本科生数学科学研究所（SUMSRI）是在迈阿密大学数学与统计学系的指导下进行的一个项目。每年，SUMSRI准备15名全国选拔的学生进入数学研究生教育，让他们参与数学和统计方面的深入研究经验，并参加四个短期课程：实分析，高等代数，GRE准备和数学写作。在他们参加该研究的第二年，每个参与者都被要求在区域和国家会议上介绍他们的研究，并得到该研究的财政支持。非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人现在占美国人口的25%以上，但在2006学年授予美国公民的500名数学博士学位中，他们获得的学位不到5%。美国公民获得的数学博士学位中，大约有三分之一是女性。由于少数族裔和女性数学科学家的短缺，该项目特别关注但不限于代表性不足的少数族裔和女性。在过去的10年里，SUMSRI已经证明了它在培养学生应对研究生教育挑战方面的有效性。SUMSRI的前参与者中有70%继续接受研究生教育。17%的学生仍在完成本科学业。在完成学士学位的少数参与者中，88%的人继续进入研究生院。以前的参与者现在是国家学校、大学、政府机构和企业的教师、教授和研究人员。

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (SUMSRI) is a program conducted under the guidance of Miami University's Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Each year, SUMSRI prepares 15 nationally selected students to enter graduate education in mathematics by involving them in an intensive research experience in mathematics and statistics and participating in four short courses in Real Analysis, Advanced Algebra, GRE preparation and Mathematical Writing. In the year following their participation in SUMSRI, each participant is asked to present their research at regional and national meetings, with financial support from SUMSRI.African American and Hispanic citizens, now over 25% of the US population, received less than 5% of the 500 mathematics PhDs awarded to US citizens in the 2006 academic year. Approximately a third of mathematics PhDs earned by US citizens went to females. Because of the shortage of minorities and women mathematical scientists, the program is especially interested in, but not limited to, underrepresented minorities and women. In the past 10 years, SUMSRI has proven its effectiveness in preparing students for the challenges of graduate education. Seventy percent of SUMSRI's former participants have gone on to graduate education. Seventeen percent are still finishing their undergraduate degrees. Of the minority participants who have completed their bachelors degree, 88% have continued into graduate school. Former participants now in the work force are teachers, professors and researchers in the nation's schools, universities, government agencies and business.
