The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is a visitors' institute whose goals are to (1) develop transformative mathematical research through interdisciplinary exploration, (2) strengthen the workforce that engages in interdisciplinary mathematical research, and (3) provide rapid dissemination of research and promote the mathematical sciences. To achieve these goals, the IMA offers activities involving the mathematical sciences in the broadest sense and encompassing the physical, computer, life, and social sciences, as well as engineering and industry. Through these activities, the IMA works to solidify the role of the mathematical sciences as the foundation for twenty-first century research and technology.The IMA serves as a hub for collaboration, bringing together mathematical scientists and application domain experts. The annual thematic program focuses either on an application field where mathematics is poised to make important contributions or on a branch of mathematics and its applications. Long-term visitors and postdoctoral fellows form the intellectual anchor of the activity; shorter-term visitors come for week-long workshops on related topics. The IMA is also an established center for industrial mathematics, serving as a resource for industry through joint sponsorship of postdoctoral fellows and workshops in areas of importance to industry. These activities facilitate technology transfer from researchers to industrial users.IMA programs provide research training for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates. The IMA also offers educational activities designed to engage future scientists of high-school age and beyond. The IMA vigorously pursues the engagement of under-represented groups in the mathematical sciences and also runs workshops directly addressing diversity in the mathematical sciences. The Institute runs a public lecture series to increase awareness of, and appreciation for, the role contemporary mathematics plays in the resolution of important technological, scientific, and societal problems.

数学及其应用研究所 (IMA) 是一个访客研究所，其目标是 (1) 通过跨学科探索发展变革性数学研究，(2) 加强从事跨学科数学研究的劳动力队伍，以及 (3) 提供快速传播的研究并促进数学科学的发展。为了实现这些目标，IMA 提供涉及最广泛意义上的数学科学的活动，涵盖物理、计算机、生命和社会科学以及工程和工业。通过这些活动，IMA 致力于巩固数学科学作为二十一世纪研究和技术基础的作用。IMA 作为协作中心，将数学科学家和应用领域专家聚集在一起。年度主题计划要么侧重于数学有望做出重要贡献的应用领域，要么侧重于数学及其应用的一个分支。长期访问者和博士后是活动的智力支柱；短期访客来参加为期一周的相关主题研讨会。 IMA 也是一个成熟的工业数学中心，通过联合赞助对工业重要领域的博士后研究员和研讨会，为工业提供资源。这些活动促进了从研究人员到工业用户的技术转移。IMA 项目为博士后、研究生和本科生提供研究培训。 IMA 还提供旨在吸引高中及以上年龄的未来科学家的教育活动。 IMA 大力推动数学科学中代表性不足的群体的参与，并举办直接解决数学科学多样性问题的研讨会。该研究所举办了一系列公开讲座，以提高人们对当代数学在解决重要技术、科学和社会问题中所发挥作用的认识和欣赏。
