The Math-to-Industry Boot Camp is an intense six-week session designed to provide training and experiences that will be valuable for enriching the experiences of doctoral students focused on areas of pure mathematics. Domestic students across the U.S. will be eligible to apply to participate in this program which will enhance the typical pure mathematics doctoral program through the provision of courses in areas such as data analysis and mathematical modeling. Additionally, the students will work in teams on projects and will be provided with soft skills training. They will be able to interact with industry participants at various points in the program. Students successfully completing the program will gain an appreciation of the usefulness of mathematics for solving real-world problems and will be empowered to make an informed career decision. The boot camp will take place at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The outcome of this project is the development of a powerful work force that meets the needs of industry, and ultimately contributes to the economic well-being of the U.S.The proposed boot camp has been designed to enhance the training of Mathematics Doctorates by providing the students with skills and experiences that are valuable for seeking positions in industry and business, or for recognizing the relevance of mathematics in industrial or government settings. The program will expose students to careers outside academia and position them to make informed career choices. The camp starts with the basics of programming, in languages and environments such as Java, Python and Matlab. There will be a module on data analysis, followed by a module on mathematical modeling. This is followed with two team projects. Both projects will be goal oriented but open-ended, with the second being posed by industry practitioners. Soft-skills training, such as project management, running meetings, making "elevator pitches," effective presentations, and report writing for non-scientific audiences will be provided. Students will be mentored throughout the six-week period and will have ample opportunity to interact with industry participants.

数学到工业新手训练营是一个为期六周的密集课程，旨在提供培训和经验，这对于丰富专注于纯数学领域的博士生的经验非常有价值。美国各地的国内学生将有资格申请参加该计划，该计划将通过提供数据分析和数学建模等领域的课程来增强典型的纯数学博士课程。 此外，学生将在项目中进行团队合作，并接受软技能培训。他们将能够在计划的各个阶段与行业参与者互动。 成功完成该课程的学生将认识到数学对于解决现实问题的有用性，并将有权做出明智的职业决定。训练营将在明尼苏达大学校园的数学及其应用研究所举行。 该项目的成果是培养了一支强大的劳动力队伍，满足行业的需求，并最终为美国的经济福祉做出贡献。拟议的训练营旨在通过为学生提供拥有对于在工业和商业中寻找职位或认识数学在工业或政府环境中的相关性有价值的技能和经验。 该计划将使学生接触学术界以外的职业，并使他们能够做出明智的职业选择。 该训练营从 Java、Python 和 Matlab 等语言和环境的编程基础知识开始。 将有一个数据分析模块，然后是数学建模模块。 接下来是两个团队项目。 这两个项目都将以目标为导向但开放式，第二个项目由行业从业者提出。 将提供软技能培训，例如项目管理、召开会议、进行“电梯演讲”、有效的演示以及为非科学受众撰写报告。 学生将在为期六周的时间内接受指导，并将有充足的机会与行业参与者互动。
