Conference: Invitation to Mathematics

历史黑人学院和大学本科课程(HBCU-UP)支持旨在提高HBCU科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学生和教职员工研究能力的会议。德克萨斯南方大学将于2018年9月8日至9日在德克萨斯南方大学举办数学应邀会议。来自Prairie View农工大学和德克萨斯南方大学的约40名师生将参加这次会议。通过这次会议的活动，本科生将接触到数学研究和技术，并对数学和其他科学领域之间的关系有一个新的看法。将讨论的数学领域包括：统计学、运筹学、数学生物学和代数。会议将包括数学家的研究演讲，面向学生的海报会议，以及与研究人员和工业界代表的小组讨论。这次会议是为了让学者、研究人员、教育工作者、学生和专业人士汇聚一堂。一个关键的目标是为本科生提供与一群研究人员互动的机会，并了解数学各个领域的研究和职业机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports conferences that seek to increase the research capacity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and faculty at HBCUs. Texas Southern University will host a Conference on Invitation to Mathematics at Texas Southern University on September 8-9, 2018. About forty faculty and students from Prairie View A&M University and Texas Southern University will attend this conference.Through the activities of this conference, undergraduate students will be exposed to mathematics research and techniques and gain a perspective on relations between mathematics and and other fields of science. Areas of mathematics to be discussed are: statistics, operations research, mathematical biology, and algebra. The conference will consist of research talks by mathematicians, a poster session for students, and a panel discussion with researchers and representatives from industry. The conference is to bring together scholars, researchers, educators, students and professionals. A key objective is to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to interact with a group of researchers and to learn about research and career opportunities in various fields of mathematics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
