Presentation Transcript

  1. UCI Interdisciplinary Computational Applied Mathematics Program (iCAMP) Opening Workshop, May 5, 2010 Faculty Team: Jack Xin (Math), Hongkai Zhao (Math), Max Welling (ICS), Sarah Eichhorn & Ernie Esser (Math)

  2. Funded by National Science FoundationProactive Recruitment in Introductory Science and Mathematics (PRISM)The goal is to strengthen the nation's scientific competitiveness by increasing the numbers of well-prepared, successful U.S. undergraduate majors and minors in science and mathematics. 

  3. Who and What • first and second year undergraduate students (all majors, undeclared); • learn mathematics and algorithms for digital information processing; • gain research and programming experience; • earn a summer paycheck and a valuable resume builder for future career in science and mathematics, related employment.

  4. Course Offering: Math/ICS 77 • Learn math, computing, applications. Pre-req: Math 2A/2B, ICS/CSE 21. • Fulfill general education requirement. • Offered quarterly (F/W/S), starting Fall 2010. • May take any of the 4 topics: signal processing, collaborative filtering, image processing, game simulation & analysis. • Projects and Presentations

  5. 3 Summer Month Research • 10 students upon completion of a Math77 / ICS77 course are selected per year (starting summer 2011, mid June — mid Sept) for paid summer research (monthly stipend ≥ $1900, monthly housing ≥ $800). • Engage in mentored research in a topical area: read research articles, do creative work, write up results. • Present, publish and learn career opportunities in science and math.

  6. New iCAMP Lab

  7. iCAMP and Beyond • Web: http://math.uci.edu/icamp • Have fun learning math and developing algorithms to make a difference in the digital world. • Get a head start on research and a future career in mathematical sciences.
