Data Science Program with Career Support and Connections to Industry

The California State University Northridge (CSUN) proposes to initiate a new curriculum in Data Science (DS) that is designed to offer new coursework, research opportunities linked to emerging efforts in industry, and career exploration workshops for undergraduates in mathematics and related programs of studies. The project falls under the NSF AD Harnessing the Data Revolution. CSUN, a federally designated Hispanic Serving In...

RUI: Development of Fast Scalable Adaptive High Order Methods for Solving the Boltzmann Equation

This project's goal is to advance one's ability to use computer simulations to address scientific and technological challenges by employing modeling at microscopic scales using the kinetic Boltzmann equation. Applications of this proposal span the dynamics of gas, plasma, self-organizing systems, networks, and bacterial dynamics. The project will focus on a bottleneck issue in kinetic modeling --- the...

Equitable Calculus for Life Sciences

Serving students who are overwhelmingly low-income, minority, and first-generation, CSUN, LAMC, and LAVC seek $1.16 million over three years to develop, implement, and evaluate a novel calculus for life sciences course that supports the elimination of equity gaps in STEM. The new course will embrace culturally responsive pedagogy, contextualization of mathematical content, active and adaptive learning, gamification, and will identify and integrate factor...
