Mathematical Sciences: Workshops in Geometric Topology

该奖项是对将于1991年、1992年和1993年举办的一系列几何拓扑学三次研讨会的奖励。这些研讨会将在全国范围内宣传，支持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。预计大多数参与者将来自美国中西部和西部。这些讲习班的目标之一是为与会者提供与外地其他人讨论其工作的机会。另一个目标是让一位国家公认的专家讨论与其当前工作重点相关但不在其工作重点之外的拓扑学领域，从而扩大参与者的利益。第一期讲习班将于1991年6月在威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校举行，为期四天。加州大学伯克利分校的安德鲁·卡森已同意担任此次研讨会的主要演讲人。类似的为期四天的讲习班将于1992年和1993年夏季在科罗拉多学院和俄勒冈州立大学举行。

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.
