Mathematical Sciences: Computing Equipment for Research in Mathematics

这是科学计算研究基金会的一笔拨款 该司数学科学方案的设备 国家科学基金会的数学科学。 该计划支持购买专用计算 专门用于研究的设备， 数学科学 该设备需要几个 研究项目，并将很难证明一个 项目独自。 国家科学基金会的支持是 再加上制造商的折扣和贡献， 由提交报告的机构分摊大量费用， 这个提议 这个项目是学术的一个例子， 企业、政府合作的基本支持 数学科学的研究。 这些设备将用于支持五项研究 在大学数学系的项目 伊利诺伊州，厄巴纳。 调查人员和项目名称 罗伯特·克雷格斯（Robert Craggs），3-和4-中2-复合物的视觉研究 Wolfgang Haken，3-流形的拓扑学; Ward Henson，Exponentiation; Derek罗宾逊，群论; 和道格拉斯韦斯特，存在性和极值问题，图论 和部分有序集。

This is a grant under the Scientific Computing Research Equipment for the Mathematical Sciences program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the National Sciences Foundation. This program supports the purchase of special purpose computing equipment dedicated to the conduct of research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment is required for several research projects and would be difficult to justify for one project alone. Support from the National Science Foundation is coupled with discounts and contributions from manufacturers and with substantial cost-sharing from the institutions submitting the proposal. This program is an example of academic, corporate, and government cooperation in the support of the basic research in the mathematical sciences. This equipment will be used to support five research projects in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Illinois, Urbana. The investigators and the projects titles follow: Robert Craggs, Visual Study of 2-Complexes in 3- and 4- Manifolds; Wolfgang Haken, Algorithmic Topology of 3-Manifolds; Ward Henson, Exponentiation; Derek Robinson, Group Theory; and Douglas West, Existence and Extremal Problems in Graph Theory and Partially Ordered Sets.
