IMA Participating Institution Graduate Summer School 2010: Computational Wave Propagation, Michigan State University

研究者和他的合作者正在组织2010年IMA参与机构的研究生暑期学校。NSF的额外支持将使研究人员能够从非IMA附属机构引进学生，并邀请国内和国际演讲者讲课。2010年夏季学校的计算波传播涵盖三个不同的主题：先进的数值方法全波传播，当代渐近方法波动方程和波动方程的应用。全波传播的高级数值方法部分将由法国Polytechnique的Jean-Claude Nederland领导。波方程的当代渐近方法部分将由Robert Burridge领导。波动方程的应用部分将由波动传播领域的活跃研究人员的大约12次讲座组成。这是一个独特而及时的学科综合，将定位未来的研究人员在计算波传播的下一步。反过来，这将对应用数学、工程和工业应用产生长期影响。IMA研究生暑期学校拥有19年的优秀课程记录，这些课程已经启动了许多年轻数学家的职业生涯。近年来，这些活动的平均出席人数为58人，包括组织者和发言者。2010年的研究生暑期学校将学生与优秀的研究人员聚集在一起，在一个亲密和密集的环境，这将导致学生数学研究的前沿。学生有机会了解世界级的数学家在一个不太正式的基础上比他们与教师在他们的家乡机构的互动。过去方案的参与者的反馈是明确积极的。IMA暑期学校是数学研究生的一个重要选择，因为他们达到了高级学位，他们是附属机构的研究生课程的一个有吸引力的特点。IMA及其附属机构特别致力于帮助促进来自代表性不足群体的数学学生的职业生涯。此外，2010年研究生暑期学校的重点是计算波传播，它在纳米技术，材料科学和雷达技术中有许多重要的应用。

The investigator and his collaborators are organizing the 2010 IMA participating institutes graduate summer school. Additional support from the NSF will enable the investigators to bring in students from non-IMA affiliated institutions and invite domestic and international speakers to give lectures. The 2010 summer school on computational wave propagation covers three different topics: advanced numerical methods for full wave propagation, contemporary asymptotic methods for wave equations, and applications of wave equations. The part of the advanced numerical methods for full wave propagation will be led by Jean-Claude Nedelec of Polytechnique, France. The part of the contemporary asymptotic methods for wave equations will be led by Robert Burridge. The part of applications of wave equations will consist of roughly twelve lectures by active researchers in wave propagation. This is a unique and timely synthesis of disciplines that will position future researchers for the next step in computational wave propagation. In turn, this will have long-term impact in applied mathematics, engineering and industrial applications. The IMA graduate summer school has a 19-year record of excellent programs that have jump-started the careers of many young mathematicians. Average attendance for these events in recent years has been 58 participants, including organizers and speakers. The 2010 graduate summer school brings students together with outstanding researchers in an intimate and intensive setting which will lead students to the frontiers of mathematical research. Students have a chance to get to know world-class mathematicians on a less formal basis than their interactions with the faculty at their home institutions. Feedback from participants of past programs has been unequivocally positive. The IMA summer schools are an important option for graduate students in mathematics as they reach for advanced degrees, and they are an attractive feature of affiliate institutions' graduate programs. The IMA and its affiliates are particularly committed to helping to advance the careers of mathematics students from under-represented groups. In addition, the focus of the 2010 graduate summer school is on computational wave propagation which has many important applications in nanotechnology, material sciences, and radar technology.
