项目摘要

The challenges presented to the scientific community by the complexities of modern society are inherently interdisciplinary. The success of mathematics in underpinning scientific investigation is evident by the fact that mathematics is the 'language of the physical sciences'; however many areas remain an open challenge to the international mathematics community. These include better engagement with the pressing global concerns of climate change and energy (e.g., developing new mathematical tools for dealing with complexity) and broad and challenging scientific goals such as the mathematization of the life sciences (e.g., mathematical models of cognition and perception, data analysis for DNA). The long-term scientific, technological and economic health of the UK requires mathematicians who (i) communicate fluently between the mathematical sub-disciplines, (ii) establish dialogues across discipline boundaries, and (iii) engage with professions and communities outside academe (in industry, commerce, financial sector, government etc). The award of a Platform Grant to the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester will enable the initiation of an internal funding mechanism to initiate, nurture and support new and adventurous research initiatives that address these goals.The creation of a platform account offers an integrative approach to the way mathematics is carried out in the School, and in its application outside the School. This should be seen not just as a fundingvehicle but a process whereby innovative and interdisciplinary research will be continuously stimulated and prosecuted. The platform account would also provide an opportunity to add value to the core research activity in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and probability and statistics within the School.

现代社会的复杂性向科学界提出的挑战本质上是跨学科的。数学是数学是“物理科学的语言”这一事实，数学在基础科学研究中的成功是显而易见的。但是，许多领域仍然对国际数学社区是一个公开挑战。这些包括更好地参与对气候变化和能量的紧迫性关注（例如，开发用于处理复杂性的新数学工具）以及广泛而富有挑战性的科学目标，例如生命科学的数学化（例如，认知和感知的数学模型，是认知和感知模型， DNA的数据分析）。英国的长期科学，技术和经济健康要求（i）（i）在数学子学科之间流利的数学家，（ii）在跨学科边界建立对话，（iii）与学术界以外的专业和社区（IN）行业，商业，金融部门，政府等）。曼彻斯特大学数学学院授予平台赠款，将启动内部资金机制，以启动，培育和支持针对这些目标的新的，冒险的研究计划。平台帐户的创建提供了一个综合性在学校及其在学校外的应用中进行数学的方式。这不仅应将其视为资助车道，而且应该将创新和跨学科研究的过程视为不断受到刺激和起诉。该平台帐户还将提供一个机会，为学校内的纯数学，应用数学以及概率和统计数据增加价值。
