1、 Researcher Major objectivesDelineated FactorsLocusMethodNO.1Probability is both a fundamental way of viewing the world, and a core mathematical discipline, alongside geometry, algebra, and analysis. In recent years, the evident power and utility of probabilistic reasoning as a distinctive method of

2、 scientific inquiry has led to an explosive growth in the importance of probability theory in scientific research. Central to statistics and commonplace in physics, genetics, and information theory for many decades, the probabilistic approach to science has more recently become indispensable in many

3、 other disciplines, including finance, geosciences, neuroscience, artificial intelligence and communication networks.The increased influence and heightened awareness of probability carries new responsibilities and opportunities for our discipline. Although the nature of doing research has changed, t

4、here has not always been a corresponding evolution in how probability is taught in our colleges and universities. In many places, curricula today are not significantly different from those of thirty years ago. The probability community must take the lead in developing course offerings and other educ

5、ational tools that accommodate widely varying audiences with diverse backgrounds.This observation also has implications for college and university curricula. Even at the beginning undergraduate level, a course in probability may be more useful than one in calculus. The modern life of an ordinary per
