Mathematical Sciences: Midwest Conference on Partial Differential Equations

该奖项为一系列专注于偏微分方程理论问题和进展的会议/研讨会提供了支持。这些会议由中西部各机构轮流主办。邀请两名主要发言人，通常来自该地区以外。另外还安排了6次会谈。这些春季-秋季会议可以追溯到1977年，令人钦佩地实现了每年两次将研究人员聚集在一起进行深入讨论的目标。此外，研究生也被要求参加。许多研究人员竭尽全力确保这些学生有交通和住宿。现在有70到80名数学家参加。许多人不要求支持，使总成本降到最低。该地区对偏微分方程的广度和兴趣确实令人印象深刻。从湍流的数值模拟到几个复杂变量的抽象方程，在任何会议上都可以表示。这项活动对该地区数学的健康发展作出了显著贡献。

This award provides support for a continuing series of conference/workshops focusing on problems and advances in the theory of partial differential equations. The meetings are hosted by various midwestern institutions on a rotating basis. Two principal speakers are invited, often from outside the region. Six additional talks are also scheduled. These spring-fall meetings date back to 1977 and have admirably fulfilled their goals of bringing together researchers for intensive discussions twice each year. In addition, graduate students are urged to attend. Many researchers go to great lengths to see that these students have transportation and lodging. Attendance is now between 70 and 80 mathematicians. Many do not ask for support, keeping the total cost to an absolute minimum. The breadth of strength and interest in partial differential equations in the region is truly impressive. Areas ranging from numerical simulations of turbulence to abstract equations in several complex variables can be represented at any meeting. The activity has measurably contributed to the health of mathematics in the region.
