The Research Environment
Overview. Texas A&M University is ranked fifth,
nationally, in NSF research and development expenditures. A&M ranks
eighth in enrollment of national merit scholars and is among the top
five in total student enrollment. Current university library holdings
include over 2.4 million volumes and 20,000 serial titles.
Computer Facilities. The math department has
five computer laboratories, containing a combined total of more than
170 network terminals (each with 19'' or 21'' color monitors). For the
duration of the program, each student participant will be provided
with one of these terminals, with access to Matlab, Maple, e-mail,
Netscape, and a variety of word processors. The total hardware
configuration for the labs: 3 Linux servers (each with 2 Pentium II
processors - 400MHz, 512MB RAM), 1 Linux fileserver (with 2 Pentium II
processors - 400MHz, 512MB RAM, 45GB disk), 1 Sun E450 (4 UltraSPARC
processors - 300MHz, 1.5GB RAM), 4 Sun SS20/152 servers (2 hyperSPARC
processors - 150MHz, 512MB RAM), 96 Dell Optiplex workstations running
Linux (350-550MHz, 128-256MB RAM), 96 NCD Explora Pro X terminals.
An SGI workstation laboratory, equipped with digital recording devices
for sound and video, will also be available for the students'
projects. The department's laboratories, and many of our lecture
halls, have instructor workstations and high resolution RGB
projectors. Student participants will be able to use this equipment
for their group presentations.
