These centers offer a wide spectrum of opportunities through a visitors program and an extensive program of support for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships. A third source of funding is through the Innovative Sciences and Technology Program sponsored by the Strategic Defense Initiative Of lice (SDIO)

Finally, Richard Lau, in numerical analysis, will sponsor some new work in computational microwave scattering. Mathematical Sciences Division personnel and telephone numbers are as follows: Applied Analysis John Lavery (202)

Turnover occurs when new people come in and see new directions for a program and implement those directions. The only requirement is that they are valid scientifically and are likely to have substantial Air Force impact.

From page 51... ...
We support other programs. There is a summer faculty research program in which faculty join Air Force laboratories, find out what the laboratories are doing, and may get a small contract afterwards.

From page 52... ...
Our current director, Vice Admiral William Studeman, strongly supports the program. We support six areas: algebra, discrete mathematics, number theory, statistics, probability, and cryptography.

From page 53... ...
Because of the nature of our mission, we have many joint academic/industrial contracts as well as industrial contracts. We bring together groups of people to work on projects and fund many interdisciplinary efforts involving mathematicians, physicists (theoretical and experimental)

From page 54... ...
It covers all areas of mathematics, computer science, and statistics. Roughly half of the money goes to universities and half goes to the national research laboratories maintained by the Department of Energy.

One was our Computational Mathematics Program, which was then in its third and basically its final year of building up to a sustainable level. The other was the Special Projects Program, where most of the increases went into the range of undergraduate activities that are found in the research directorates at the National Science Foundation (NSF9.

From page 56... ...
There is one center with "mathematics" in its title: The Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science at Rutgers. There are two others with significant mathematics components to them, one in parallel computation that is a joint center between Rice and Cal Tech.
