Mathematical Sciences: Midwest Conference on Partial Differential Equations

该奖项为继续举办一系列会议/讲习班提供支持，这些会议/讲习班的重点是偏微分方程式理论方面的问题和进展。会议由中西部各机构轮流主办。邀请了两位主要演讲者，他们往往来自该地区以外。另外还安排了六次会谈。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密集讨论的目标。此外，研究生也被敦促参加。许多研究人员不遗余力地发现，这些学生有交通和住宿。出席人数目前在70到80名数学家之间。许多人不要求支持，将总成本保持在绝对最低水平。该地区对偏微分方程式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变量的抽象方程，都可以在任何会议上表示。这项活动大大促进了该地区数学的健康发展。

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.
