- Current challenges for graduate education in classical analysis,
- computational and discrete mathematics, operations research and
- statistics will be discussed at this conference hosted by the
- Department of Mathematical Sciences at Clemson University.
-
- Specific conference objectives are to review the current status of
- graduate education in the applied mathematical sciences; to review
- the role of recent developments in the mathematical sciences in
- the solution of modern technological problems and the challenges
- and opportunities these developments present to graduate
- education; to obtain perspectives on current industrial/government
- employment opportunities and placement; and to publicize
- innovative graduate programs to the professional community.
-
- Participants will be selected to provide broad representation from
- all areas of the mathematical sciences, including individuals from
- academic, governmental and industrial institutions. The program
- will consist of a number of panel, audience, and group
- discussions. This format necessitates a limited number of
- participants. A conference proceedings will be published.
