Mathematical Sciences: NSF/AWM Workshops to Encourage and Support Young Women Mathematicians

该项目将支持三个讲习班，以鼓励和支持年轻女性数学家。第一期讲习班将与妇女数学协会在1991年1月举行的美国数学学会和美国数学协会联席会议上举行的妇女数学协会二十周年庆祝活动同时举行。该计划的一部分将包括一个题为“数学中女性的未来”的AWM研讨会；这个研讨会将有大约10名最近获得博士学位的人参加，他们将就他们的研究发表30分钟的演讲。其他计划的活动将与联席会议同时进行。另外两个讲习班将在1992年的主要数学会议之前举行；第一个在联合数学会议(1992年1月)上举行，第二个在工业和应用数学学会全国会议(1992年7月)上举行。这些研讨会将把最近获得数学博士学位或研究生的女性和几位知名数学家聚集在一起。研讨会参与者将简要介绍他们的研究兴趣和研究环境。预计有机会彼此见面和互动，以及与几位知名数学家见面和互动，将使参与者能够促进他们自己的研究，并减少他们在职业上的孤立。

This project will support three workshops to encourage and support young women mathematicians. The first workshop will be held in conjunction with the twentieth anniversary celebration of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) at the Joint Meeting of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) in January 1991. Part of the program will consist of an AWM Symposium entitled "The Future of Women in Mathematics;" this symposium will involve approximately ten recent doctoral recipients who will present thirty minute talks on their research. The other planned activities will run concurrently with the Joint Meeting. The other two workshops will be held prior to major mathematical meetings in 1992; the first at the Joint Mathematics Meeting (January 1992) and the second at the national meeting of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (July 1992). These workshops will bring together women who are recent doctoral recipients or graduate students in mathematics, and several established mathematicians. The workshop participants will be expected to give a brief presentation on their research interests and research environment. It is expected that the opportunity to meet and interact with one another, as well as with a few established mathematicians, will enable the participants to promote their own research and decrease their professional isolation.
