Mathematical Sciences: Workshops in Geometric Topology

该奖项是为了奖励将于1991年、1992年和1993年举行的几何拓扑学系列三次讲习班。这些研讨会将在全国范围内进行宣传，支持对象将主要扩展到没有其他NSF支持的活跃的研究数学家和研究生。预计大多数与会者将来自美国中西部和西部。这些讲习班的目标之一是为参与者提供一个机会，与该领域的其他人讨论他们的工作。另一个目标是通过让一个国家认可的专家讨论与他们当前工作相关但不在其重点范围内的拓扑领域来扩大参与者的兴趣。第一次讲习班将于1991年6月在威斯康辛-密尔沃基大学举行，为期四天。加州大学伯克利分校的安德鲁·卡森同意担任本次研讨会的主要发言人。1992年和1993年夏季将在科罗拉多学院和俄勒冈州立大学举办类似的为期四天的讲习班。

This award is for a series of three workshops in Geometric Topology to be held in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The workshops will be advertised nationally, and support will be extended primarily to active research mathematicians without other NSF support and to graduate students. Most of the participants are expected to come from the Midwest and Western United States. One goal of these workshops is to provide participants an opportunity to discuss their work with others in the field. Another goal is to expand the interests of the participants by having a nationally recognized expert discuss an area of topology which is related to but outside the focus of their current work. The first workshop will be held during a four day period at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in June 1991. Andrew Casson of the University of California at Berkeley has agreed to be the principal speaker at this workshop. Similar four day workshops will be held in the summers of 1992 and 1993 at Colorado College and at Oregon State University.
