U.S. Research Institutes in the Mathematical Sciences: Assessment and Perspectives

National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications,Committee on U.S. Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes,National Academy of Sciences

This report is the result of a fast-track study of U.S. mathematical sciences research institutes done in response to a request from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The task of the Committee on U.S. Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes was to address the following three questions:

  1. What are the characteristic features of effective mathematical sciences research institutes in the ways that they further mathematical research in the United States, and are there ways that the current configuration can be improved?

  2. What kinds of institutes should there be in the United States, and how many does the nation need?

  3. How should U.S. mathematical sciences research institutes be configured (with regard to, for example, diversity of operating formats, distribution of mathematical fields, and interinstitute cooperation or coordination) in order to have the nation’s mathematical research enterprise continue to be most productive and successful?
