Developing Workforce with Mathematical Modeling Skills
SIAM Review, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 778-792, November 2024. Mathematicians have traditionally been a select group of academics who produce high-impact ideas enabling substantial results in several fields of science. Throughout the past 35 years, undergraduates enrolling in mathematics or statistics have represented a nearly constant proportion of approximately 1% of bachelor degrees awarded in the United States. Even within STEM majors, mathematics or statistics only constitute about 6% of undergraduate degrees awarded nationally. However, the need for STEM professionals continues to grow, and the list of required occupational skills rests heavily in foundational concepts of mathematical modeling curricula, where the interplay of data, computer simulation, and underlying theoretical frameworks takes center stage. It is not viable to expect a majority of these STEM undergraduates to pursue a double major that includes mathematics. Here we present our solution, some early results of its implementation, and a vision for possible nationwide adoption.
期刊介绍:
ACS Central Science publishes significant primary reports on research in chemistry and allied fields where chemical approaches are pivotal. As the first fully open-access journal by the American Chemical Society, it covers compelling and important contributions to the broad chemistry and scientific community. "Central science," a term popularized nearly 40 years ago, emphasizes chemistry's central role in connecting physical and life sciences, and fundamental sciences with applied disciplines like medicine and engineering. The journal focuses on exceptional quality articles, addressing advances in fundamental chemistry and interdisciplinary research.
