Mathematics Advanced Study Semesters (MASS) is an innovative, intensive, fall-semester program at Penn State for up to 20 undergraduate students from around the country, which is supported in the summer by an integrated undergraduate research program. MASS consists of: three core courses in the areas of algebra/number theory, analysis/dynamical systems and geometry/topology; an inter-disciplinary seminar; a colloquium lecture series; and three research projects per participant. The courses are custom-designed yearly. Engaging colloquium speakers are drawn from across the country and indeed around the world. MASS also offers valuable training opportunities to graduate student interns assisting in the program.The current proposal will support Penn State's MASS program and MASS-related summer activities during the 2004-5 academic year. MASS will offer participating undergraduate students an immersive mathematical environment, combining stimulating mathematical training with an initiation into mathematical research. Most participants will proceed to graduate study in mathematics or mathematics-related fields. Original course materials will be prepared for publication by the American Mathematical Society, and the MASS experience will be described in publications aimed at wide audiences of professionals involved in university-level mathematical training.

数学高级学习学期 (MASS) 是宾夕法尼亚州立大学的一项创新型强化秋季学期课程，面向全国各地最多 20 名本科生，该课程在夏季得到综合本科生研究计划的支持。 MASS 包括：代数/数论、分析/动力系统和几何/拓扑领域的三门核心课程；跨学科研讨会；研讨会系列讲座；每位参与者三个研究项目。这些课程每年都是定制设计的。 参与研讨会的演讲者来自全国各地，甚至世界各地。 MASS 还为协助该项目的研究生实习生提供宝贵的培训机会。当前的提案将支持宾夕法尼亚州立大学的 MASS 项目以及 2004-5 学年期间与 MASS 相关的夏季活动。 MASS 将为参与的本科生提供身临其境的数学环境，将刺激的数学训练与数学研究的入门相结合。 大多数参与者将继续攻读数学或数学相关领域的研究生课程。 原始课程材料将由美国数学会准备出版，MASS 的经验将在面向参与大学数学培训的专业人士的广大受众的出版物中进行描述。
