  • Priorities for the National Science Foundation
    December 2020 Priorities for the National Science Foundation Founded in 1888, the American Mathematical Society (AMS) is dedicated to advancing the interests of mathematical research and scholarship and connecting the diverse global mathematical community. We do this through our book and journal publications, meetings and conferences, database of research publications1 that goes back to the early 1800s, professional services, advocacy, and awareness programs. The AMS has 30,000 individual members worldwide and supports mathemat- ical scientists at every career stage. The AMS advocates for increased and sustained funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF). The applications The NSF supports more fundamental research in the of advances in mathematical sciences—and done at colleges and theoretical science, 2 universities—than any other federal agency.

The second, and final section offers a discussion of existing funding mechanisms for mathematicians.

  • Report of the MPSAC
    Report of the Subcommittee of the MPSAC to Examine the Question of Renaming the Division of Mathematical Sciences James Berger (Duke University) Emery Brown (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Kevin Corlette (University of Chicago) Irene Fonseca (Carnegie Mellon University) Juan C. Meza (University of California – Merced) Fred Roberts (Rutgers University) (chair) Background Dr. Sastry Pantula, Director of the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences, has proposed that the Division be renamed the Division of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. In a letter to Dr. James Berger, chair of the MPSAC, the MPS Assistant Director Ed Seidel asked Dr. Berger to form a subcommittee to examine the question of renaming the Division of Mathematical Sciences at NSF. It included the following charge to the subcommittee: Charge The subcommittee will develop the arguments, both in favor of, and against, the suggestion of renaming the Division of Mathematical Sciences. In doing so, the scope of the subcommittee will include the following: • Seeking input from the mathematical and statistical societies within the U.S; • Seeking input from individual members of the community on this matter; and • Developing a document listing the arguments in favor of, and against, the suggestion. • And other comments relevant to this topic. In order to accept input from the public, MPS will arrange for creation of a website or email address to which the community may send its comments. Comments may be unsigned. While the subcommittee is not required to announce its meetings and hold them open to the public because it will be reporting directly to the MPSAC, any documents received by or created by the subcommittee may be subject to access by the public.

  • The Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications at Harvard University by Shing-Tung Yau, Director*,†
    The Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications at Harvard University by Shing-Tung Yau, Director*,† The Center of Mathematical Sciences and Appli- cations at Harvard University was created as a fu- sion point for mathematics, statistics, physics, and related sciences, with the purpose of establishing ap- plied mathematics at Harvard as a first-class, inter- disciplinary field of study. The Center carries out the most innovative research while also training young researchers from all over the world, especially those from China. In addition to hosting several regu- lar seminars and a colloquium, the Center also fre- quently hosts larger conferences and workshops on a variety of topics, including topological insulators, big data, and optimization in image processing. The Center hosted its inaugural events on the afternoon of April 10, 2014, with talks from Prof. Shoucheng Zhang of Stanford University and Prof. Stanley Osher of the University of California at Los Angeles. Before the talks, the establishment of the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications was celebrated with a reception attended by Provost Alan Garber, Dean Jeremy Bloxham, Administrative Dean Russ Porter, and a few members of the Ever- grande Group, among others. At the lectures, Jeremy Bloxham, Dean of Science, welcomed attendees and congratulated Prof. Shing-Tung Yau, director of the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, for his considerable effort and leadership in estab- * Department of Mathematics, Harvard University E-mail: [email protected] Figure 1.

  • Undergraduate Degree Programs in Applied Mathematics
    SIAM Education Committee Report on Undergraduate Degree Programs in Applied Mathematics May 2014 SIAM Education Committee Report on Undergraduate Degree Programs in Applied Mathematics May 2014 Table of Contents I. Overview II. Components of an Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Program III. Industrial Mathematics IV. Recruitment and Retention V. Undergraduate Research VI. Professional Development for Undergraduate Students VII. Student Connections in Mathematics Organizations VIII. Outreach and Teacher Preparation/Development in K-12 IX. Conclusion I. Overview With a global focus on preparing students to enter STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields, undergraduate programs in Applied Mathematics have an important role to play in preparing the future workforce. The purpose of this advisory report is to describe the components of existing programs in Applied Mathematics. The intended audience includes people who may be interested in initiating new programs, improving existing programs, or policy-makers. The National Research Council of the National Academies Report, “The Mathematical Sciences in 2025” discusses many issues related to Applied Mathematics. The section on the vitality of the mathematical sciences notes that major problems in core mathematics are getting solved, which is a payoff of long-term investment. Meanwhile, the range of applications has dramatically expanded and new types of mathematics and statistics are being used to probe these applications as computation and “big data” become ubiquitous. A section devoted to connections between the Mathematical Sciences and other fields describes an enormous expansion of interactions. Decadal studies of most fields list problems containing a major mathematical sciences component. The study acknowledges the role of “dual citizens” with mathematical training but working in other fields and a need for better mechanisms to connect researchers in other fields with mathematical scientists with the mathematical institutes serving an important mechanism to connect them.
