IAS/Park City Math Institute Undergraduate Summer School

描述（由申请人提供）：日期2005年6月26日至7月16日。参与者类型：本科生。目标和主题：一个为期三周的密集的数学生物学暑期研究所建议为30-40名本科生和20名本科教师。我们提出3个创新的，当代的课程满足每天在数学生物学的核心重要性的主题，以及第四门课程（在本科教师计划）专注于必要的数学教师准备提供数学课程的数学生物学学生的生物学知识。夏季研究所课程的教师每年都从杰出的研究数学家中选出，这些数学家被认为是各自领域中最好的数学家之一。2005年，USS讲师将是Lisette de Pillis（Harvey Mudd学院）“最佳控制的癌症建模”，Fred Adler（犹他州大学）“动力学，疾病和多样性”，以及Elizabeth Allman（南缅因州大学）和John罗兹（贝茨学院）。奥尔曼和罗兹将共同提供一门课程“数学的系统发育树。此外，本科教师计划课程将由约翰泰森（弗吉尼亚理工大学）提供“介绍分子细胞生物学的数学家。“此外，相当大的互动计划与研究生暑期学校和研究计划在数学生物学同时发生在同一地点，以及一个方案，为中学和中学数学教师。与会者还将有机会获得两个粘土数学研究所高级学者在驻地介绍：普林斯顿大学的西蒙莱文和纽约大学柯朗研究所的查尔斯佩斯金。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dates June 26-July 16, 2005. Type of participants; undergraduate students. Goals and Topics: A three-week intensive Summer Institute in mathematical biology is proposed for 30-40 undergraduate students and 20 undergraduate faculty. We propose 3 innovative, contemporary courses meet daily on topics of central importance in mathematical biology, as well as a fourth course (in the Undergraduate Faculty Program) focused on the biological knowledge necessary for mathematics faculty preparing to offer mathematics courses for math biology students. The instructors for the Summer Institute courses are chosen each year from among eminent research mathematicians noted as among the best expositors in their field. In 2005, the USS lecturers will be Lisette de Pillis (Harvey Mudd College) "Cancer Modeling with Optimal Control," Fred Adler (University of Utah) "Dynamics, Diseases, and Diversity," and Elizabeth Allman (University of Southern Maine) and John Rhodes (Bates College). Allman and Rhodes will jointly offer one course "The Mathematics of Phylogenetic Trees." In addition, the Undergraduate Faculty Program course will be offered by John Tyson (Virginia Polytechnic University) "An Introduction to Molecular Cell Biology for Mathematicians." In addition, considerable interaction is planned with a Graduate Summer School and Research Program in Mathematical Biology occurring simultaneously in the same location, as well as a program for secondary and middle school mathematics teachers. Participants will also have access to the presentations of 2 Clay Mathematics Institute Senior Scholars-in-Residence: Simon Levin of Princeton University and Charles Peskin of Courant Institute, New York University.
