CBMS2010: A Study of Undergraduate Programs in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences in the United States and the Publication of the Results

该项目CBMS2010是一项全面的分层随机抽样调查，于2010年秋季对全国两年制和四年制大学的数学和统计科学本科课程进行调查。一份全面的调查报告将于2012年春季在网上公布。该项目继续了自1965年以来每五年对本科数学课程进行的横断面调查。该项目由数学科学会议委员会（CBMS）协调，由美国数学学会（AMS）管理。CBMS调查跟踪了美国本科数学科学课程的课程、教学法、入学水平、毕业生和教师的变化。此外，CBMS2010还侧重于：数学和统计专业的要求，数学和统计课程的评估，教师的数学准备，双招生，以及大学代数，微积分I和基础统计的教学策略。CBMS2010将提供国家数学科学系主任在AMS出版物“走向卓越：引领21世纪数学系”中所要求的国家基准数据。统计设计和相关计算由韦斯特大学的统计学家与CBMS指定的指导委员会协商后进行，最终报告将由该项目的高级人员撰写，并由美国数学学会出版。调查结构的演变有助于教育调查研究方法论的发展。

This project, CBMS2010, is a comprehensive stratified random sample survey of the nation's undergraduate mathematical and statistical sciences programs at two-year and four-year institutions in the fall of 2010. A comprehensive report describing this survey will be available in the spring of 2012 online. This project continues a cross-sectional survey of undergraduate mathematics programs that has been done every five years since 1965. This project is coordinated by the Conference Board for the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) and is being managed by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). CBMS surveys track changes in the curriculum, pedagogy, enrollment levels, graduates, and faculty in US undergraduate mathematical sciences programs. In addition, CBMS2010 is also focusing on: requirements for mathematics and statistics majors, assessment of mathematics and statistics programs, mathematical preparation of teachers, dual enrollment, and instructional strategies in College Algebra, Calculus I, and Elementary Statistics. CBMS2010 will provide the national benchmark data that the nation's mathematical sciences department chairs called for in the AMS publication "Towards Excellence: Leading a Mathematics Department in the 21st Century."The statistical design and associated computations are being conducted by statisticians at Westat in consultation with a steering committee appointed by CBMS, and the final report will be written by the project's senior personnel and published by the American Mathematical Society. The survey's evolving structure contributes to educational survey research methodology.
