Mathematical Sciences: Midwest Conferences on partial Differential Equations

这个奖项为中西部地区一系列会议的继续提供了适度的资金，这些会议的重点是偏微分方程理论的发展。这些会议始于1977年，在不同的机构举行，规模从60名教员和研究生增加到1990年的100多名。会议持续两天，有两位来自该地区以外的杰出演讲者，并穿插了大约六场其他演讲。重新支持的建议首先是基于美国中西部地区在偏微分方程研究方面的卓越实力，以及这些会议为年轻的研究人员提供的机会，使他们能够以很少的成本在这个繁荣的地区积累经验和熟人。事实上，除了外部演讲者的旅费外，所有的资金将用于帮助支付研究生和博士后的费用。//

This award provides modest funding for the continuation of the series of midwestern regional conferences focusing on developments in the theory of partial differential equations. The meetings, which began in 1977, are held at various institutions, growing in size from 60 faculty and graduate students to over 100 in 1990. The conferences last two days, featuring two distinguished speakers from outside the area with approximately six other talks interspersed. The recommendation to renew support is based first on the exceptional strength of U.S. research in partial differential equations concentrated in the midwest as well as on the opportunity the meetings provide to young investigators in developing experience and acquaintances in this thriving area at little cost. Indeed, except for travel costs for the outside speakers, all of the funds will be used to help defray expenses for graduate students and postdoctoral associates.//
