September 17, 1999–“Our most productive Visiting Scholar Grant Program to date” was how Roger Germundsson, Wolfram Research’s Director of Research and Development, described the 1999 program.

Set up in 1995 to complement a range of other grants offered by Wolfram Research, the Visiting Scholar Grant Program targets professionals engaged in Mathematica projects that have the potential to make a major impact in their fields. Projects by this year’s recipients included the writing of Mathematica courseware or applications for chemical engineering, statistical quality control, and robotics amongst many others.

Those interested in applying for the 2000-01 grant program should complete an application form by March 31, 2000.
