Mathematical Sciences: 1996-1997 Clifford Lectures; November, 1996; New Orleans, LA

9612114王：杜兰大学数学系请求为1996年11月举行的1996年至1997年克利福德讲座提供部分支助。这将部分用于没有助学金的演讲者和参与活动的学生和教职员工的费用。首席讲师将是犹他大学的Paul Fife教授，他将就“相变动力学中的数学问题”发表演讲。这些讲座及其附带的小型会议将在材料科学和数学生物学、统计物理以及几何学的应用分析、建模和计算方面的科学家之间带来活跃的互动。这次会议将为杜兰大学和路易斯安那大学的教职员工和学生带来最高质量的数学。%该提案要求支持组织为期一周的会议，历来被称为Clifford Lecture系列。该系列讲座的目的是将来自许多不同领域的研究人员聚集在一起，他们在相变方面有共同的交叉点，相变是理论材料科学、统计物理和几何中的一个活跃领域。将涵盖的主题代表了目前在相变中的一些技术问题。研讨会的主题包括一位首席讲师，然后是一个小型会议。学生参与是系列讲座的重要组成部分。***

9612114 Wang The Mathematics Department of Tulane University requests a partial support for the 1996-1997 Clifford Lectures, which will be held in November 1996. This will partially cover the expenses of speakers and participating students and faculty who do not have grants. The principal lecturer will be Professor Paul Fife of the University of Utah, who will speak on "Mathematical issues in the dynamics of phase transitions". The lectures, with their accompanying miniconference, will bring lively interactions among scientists in applied analysis, modeling and computation in material science and mathematical biology, statistical physics as well as geometry. The conference will bring mathematics of the highest quality to faculty and students from not only at Tulane but also from Louisiana universities. %%% This proposal calls for support to organize a week long conference, historically known as the Clifford Lecture series. The purpose of the lecture series is to bring together researchers from many different fields who have a common intersection on phase transition which is an active area in the theoretical material science, statistical physics as well as geometry. The topics to be covered represent some current technological issues in phase transition. The theme of the workshop includes a principal lecturer, followed by a mini conference. Student participation is a strong component of the lecture series. ***
