“Big picture” questions
Should math departments have the primaryresponsibility for teaching undergraduate courses inmathematics?Should mathematically talented undergraduates majorin mathematics?How can mathematics departments contributemeaningfully to fast-growing disciplines like genomics,climate, and materials science?How can mathematics departments contribute tostudents’ professional development besides homeworkproblem sets?

My interests and philosophy
Professional goals: Create modern, high-impactprograms for mathematics undergraduates that canserve as national modelsObjective: Educate mathematically literate scientists(not necessarily more mathematicians per se)Develop skills in scientific collaboration, publicspeaking, and technical writingUndergraduate education should be an opportunity tolearn a little about a lot of things—prematurespecialization is undesirableInterdisciplinary collaboration is essential

The standard undergraduate curriculum fails most students
The #1 FAQ: What can I do with a math degree?Little if any exposure to:
Real dataMathematical modeling of “real world” problemsUncertainty in data and modelsComputation beyond a numerical analysis courseTeamwork and scientific collaborationTechnical writing beyond short proofs in homework
If it takes too long for students to see interestingapplications, then they lose interestCourse catalogs are opaque

Flexibility in undergraduate programs is essential
Programs must give students an idea of what’s possibleThe majority of our math majors transfer from otherprograms—so programmatic requirements mustaccommodate themUndergraduate programs must provide options besidesgraduate schoolCourses in public speaking, leadership, business,finance, entrepreneurship, etc. should be allowableoptionsMentoring (by faculty) is essential

The Computational Mathematical Sciences B.S. degree
Started 10 years ago; accounts for about 1/4 of allmath majorsGoal: Create an interdisciplinary program that wouldappeal to good science and math studentsMust accommodate transfer students easilyEncourages independent study and summer internshipsTakes a broad view of “scientific computing”

Rabies epidemiology (Becky Borchering & Mara Steinhaus)
Rabies Model for Skunks (Mara Steinhaus & Dr. Yang Kuang, CSUMS 2010)
In the current model, susceptible skunks become exposed after coming into contact with an infected skunk. Exposed skunks are consideredinfected when they begin displaying rabies symptoms. No infected skunks recover. For low values of the unknown parameter β, the rabiesinfection eventually dies out and is contained within the initial area of introduction. For high values of β, the infection spreads out in a ring fromthe center of introduction. See diagrams below.
Parameter Set 1: Distribution of Infected:
Parameter Value InformationK 6 individuals per km2
d 0.1 km2 per yearβ 0.1 unknownr 1 2-4 births per yearm 0.5 lifespan = 1-2 yearsmr 1 100% mortalityσ 1 1 week - several years
t=0 t=1 t=2
Parameter Set 2: Distribution of Infected:
Parameter Value InformationK 6 individuals per km2
d 0.1 km2 per yearβ 1 unknownr 1 2-4 births per yearm 0.5 lifespan = 1-2 yearsmr 1 100% mortalityσ 1 1 week - several years
t=0 t=1 t=2
My Objectives for Future Work:• Identify influential parameters and incorporate them into the standing model.
• Develop a system of ODEs that model rabies dynamics for bats and add these equations to the current model. The new model would describedispersion of both infected skunks and infected bats.
• Update the diffusion coefficient, d, to be a spatially dependent function. A changing rate of diffusion would account for differences in terrain(e.g. mountainous regions vs. rivers) that hinder or ease movement.
• Verify the accuracy of my updated model by cross-referencing my results with the extensive confirmed case data from Texas.
Susceptible: St = rS(1−S/K)−βSIExposed: Et = βSI − (σ +m)EInfected: It = σE−mrI +∇ · (D∇I)

Things that have worked for us
Mathematical preparation of vector calculus, ODE, andlinear algebra suffices to do something interestingThe 8-week summer format allows students to focus ontheir projects without other distractions—yet stillleaves time for a breakThe first week includes a “boot camp” on basics ofLATEX and MATLABThe pizza seminar allows time for preparatory lecturesleading up to the summer—as well as a time for guestlectures, student talk practice, etc.

Overall philosophy
An undergraduate research project is not a miniaturePh.D. thesisPedagogical goal is for students to decide whether theyare interested in research in mathematical sciencesStudents need a couple weeks to learn about the topicand help to define a project that can be substantiallycompleted in another 6 weeksNew mathematics can be learned as needed along thewayThe computer is a tool for discovery, not the principalfocus

Recruitment challenges
Word of mouth is very helpfulOtherwise promising students are sometimes turned offby the perception of a “nerd factor”Having a critical mass of female students and facultymentors is important for recruiting womenWell motivated students are essential—and not alwaysobvious from transcripts and letters of recommendationNot all students will succeed
