Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics

纯粹与应用数学研究所（IPAM）的使命是建立新的包容性跨学科研究社区，促进数学与广泛的科学技术的互动，促进数学创新，并通过数学参与和改变世界。数学在今天的科学和技术中正变得越来越重要，其应用范围广泛，如搜索引擎、密码学、医学想象、人工智能等。未来的发展，从可持续能源生产到自动驾驶汽车，再到量子计算机，都需要进一步的数学创新和现有数学的应用。IPAM的总体目标是促进数学家与医生、工程师、物理科学家、社会科学家和人文主义者的互动，以实现未来的技术和社会进步。IPAM通过将数学与其他学科或多个数学领域联系起来的研讨会和长期计划来履行其使命。这些活动每年吸引成千上万的来自学术界、政府和工业界、各个职业阶段的参观者。IPAM也有一些项目，鼓励女性和少数族裔成员加入数学界，为政府机构的特定需求服务，并向公众宣传现代数学的兴奋之处以及数学对社会的重要贡献。以学生为中心的课程突出了数学学位的价值和数学专业的许多职业道路。通过这些活动，IPAM服务于国家利益。IPAM通过刺激科学进步所需的数学发展来促进科学进步；通过解决当前科学和社会挑战的项目，促进国家健康、繁荣和福利。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The mission of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) is to build new inclusive interdisciplinary research communities, to foster the interaction of mathematics with a broad range of science and technology, to promote mathematical innovation, and to engage and transform the world through mathematics. Mathematics is becoming increasingly central to today’s science and technology, with applications as diverse as search engines, cryptography, medical imagining, artificial intelligence, and many others. Future developments, from sustainable energy production to autonomous vehicles, to quantum computers, require further mathematical innovation and application of existing mathematics. IPAM's overall goal is to foster the interaction of mathematicians with doctors, engineers, physical scientists, social scientists, and humanists to enable such future technological and social progress. IPAM fulfills its mission through workshops and long programs that connect mathematics and other disciplines or multiple areas of mathematics. These activities bring in thousands of visitors annually from academia, government, and industry, at all career stages. IPAM also has programs that encourage the inclusion of women and members of minorities underrepresented in the mathematics community, that serve specific needs of government agencies, and that inform the public about the excitement of modern mathematics and the important contributions that have come to society through mathematics. Student-focused programs highlight the value of mathematics degree and the many career paths available to mathematics majors. Through these activities, IPAM serves the national interest. IPAM promotes the progress of science by stimulating the mathematical developments that are needed for this progress; advances the national health, prosperity, and welfare through programs that address current scientific and societal challenges.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.
