Abstract

This paper is a translation of the the following paper into Persian:
[R. Levy, E. Chow, B. Kwon and K. Socha, SIAM education subcommittee report on undergraduate degree programs in applied mathematics, SIAM Review, 59 no. 1 (2017) 199-204.]
 
The SIAM Education Committee has released a report called Undergraduate Degree Programs in Applied Mathematics. The report describes the general and specific features of undergraduate education in applied mathematics, based on interviews with 12 diverse but representative programs, and offers commentary based on the experience of the committee. This article summarizes the key findings of the SIAM report, focusing on curricular requirements, the role of industry, undergraduate research, student recruitment, and starting a new program. The goal of the report and this article is to provide guidance to new programs, existing programs, and the development of policy.
