With NSF support and with sponsorship from the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS), the CBMS2005 project will be the ninth in a sequence of quinquennial surveys and reports that provide comprehensive national data on the undergraduate mathematical sciences in departments ranging from two-year to doctoral.Professional society reports have emphasized the need for better data on the nation's undergraduatemathematical sciences programs in order to allow leaders at every level from local departments tonational agencies to assess existing activities, to plan future growth, and to be effective advocates for their programs. Based on a carefully designed CBMS2005 survey of the nation's undergraduate mathematical sciences programs, the CBMS2005 project will address that need through published reports of the most detailed and reliable data on the nation's undergraduate mathematical sciences.CBMS2005 will continue long-term cross-sectional studies initiated in previous CBMS reports, and will investigate special topics proposed by professional society committees as being particularly important today. These special topics are likely to include: the mathematical preparation of K-8 teachers; the impact of reform movements on undergraduate curriculum, pedagogy, and technology use; the growth of ``dualenrollment'' as a way for advanced high school students to get college credit while still in high school; faculty diversity and educational background; the shift from permanent to temporary faculty noted in the CBMS2000 report; and comparison of availability of advanced courses for mathematics majors in various types of four-year colleges and universities.CBMS2005 will involve an unprecedented level of cooperation between members of the project steering committee (who come from nine different universities); the Joint Data Committee of the AMS, ASA, IMS, and MAA; committees of various professional societies; and statisticians at the University of North Carolina.

在 NSF 的支持和数学科学联合会 (CBMS) 的赞助下，CBMS2005 项目将是一系列五年一次的调查和报告中的第九个项目，这些调查和报告提供了各院系本科数学科学的全面全国数据。专业学会的报告强调需要获得关于国家本科数学科学项目的更好数据，以便让从地方部门到国家机构的各级领导能够评估现有的数学科学项目。活动，规划未来的增长，并成为其计划的有效倡导者。基于精心设计的 CBMS2005 对全国本科数学科学项目的调查，CBMS2005 项目将通过发表有关全国本科数学科学的最详细和可靠数据的报告来满足这一需求。CBMS2005 将继续发起的长期横断面研究在以前的 CBMS 报告中，并将调查专业协会委员会提出的特别主题，这些主题在今天尤为重要。这些专题可能包括： K-8 教师的数学准备；改革运动对本科课程、教学法和技术使用的影响； “双录取”的发展作为高级高中生在高中时获得大学学分的一种方式；师资多样性和教育背景； CBMS2000 报告中指出的从固定教员到临时教员的转变； CBMS2005将涉及项目指导委员会成员（来自九所不同大学）之间前所未有的合作； AMS、ASA、IMS 和 MAA 联合数据委员会；各专业协会的委员会；和北卡罗来纳大学的统计学家。
