The research backgrounds of respondents represented a broad spectrum of the mathematical sciences, including what is traditionally considered pure mathematics (32) , classical applied mathematics (13)
|
From page 29... ...
Many respondents provided extensive commentary on their highly positive professional interactions with existing mathematical sciences research institutes inside and outside the United States. Several junior researchers noted that a dramatic improvement in their early research career could be traced directly to a critical involvement with an institute.

From page 30... ...
Both applied and core mathematicians who responded noted the need for increased financial support for senior mathematical scientists to spend sabbatical periods at an institute. Some of the applied mathematicians who responded expressed the opinion that institutes would be well placed to foster new and significant advances in mathematical modeling for experimental sciences.

From page 31... ...
Statisticians would benefit from institutes that could facilitate interdisciplinary work between statisticians and, for instance, neuroscientists, geophysicists, and molecular geneticists, as well as social scientists, financial modelers, and engineers. Among the statisticians who responded, extremely strong support was expressed for institutes modeled after the existing National Institute for Statistical Sciences MISS)
