Mathematical Sciences: Support for the 45th Annual Gordon Research Conference on Statistics in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering; August 25-30, 1996; Oxford, England

9632955自1951年以来，戈登化学和化学工程统计学研究会议每年举行一次。它为统计、化学和化学工程领域的研究人员和工作人员之间的新思想交流提供了一个重要的和极具启发性的机会。为了进一步交流意见，1996年的会议将首次在美国以外的英国牛津举行。这将使美国科学家接触到欧洲统计、化学和化学工程领域的顶尖科学家。1996年的会议将沿着两条路线开展工作。一方面，杰出的统计学家提出与化学家和化学工程师相关的新颖和最新的主题，另一方面，杰出的化学家和化学工程师提出现实生活中的问题和提出的解决方案。这种方法最大限度地促进了不同群体之间的互动：化学家和化学工程师学习新的统计方法，统计学家听到复杂的现实问题。戈尔多尔化学和化学工程统计学研究会议位于统计学、化学和化学工程之间的交界处。因此，这次会议吸引了广泛的与会者。由此产生的来自科学和工程不同领域的思想的交叉融合极大地造福了所有参与者。研究统计学家接触到化学和化学工程中的实际问题；应用化学家和统计学家第一手学习新的统计研究，他们可以在日常工作中使用；研究化学家和化学工程师可以与著名的统计学家讨论他们的统计思想。如本次会议所述，统计方法在许多研究领域提供了重要的量化工具，包括通过提高产品质量和生产率来实现提高化学工业竞争力的国家目标，以及认识和避免环境危害。这次会议将允许公开介绍和讨论关于统计学前沿及其与化学和化学工程所有领域的相关性的最新研究。***

9632955 Ungar The Gordon Research Conference on Statistics in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering has met annually since 1951. It provides an important and highly stimulating opportunity for the exchange of new ideas among researchers and workers in statistics, chemistry and chemical engineering. In order to further the exchange of ideas, the 1996 Conference will, for the first time, be held outside the US, in Oxford (UK). This will bring US scientists in contact with the leading scientists in the fields of statistics, chemistry and chemical engineering in Europe. The 1996 Conference will work along two lines. On the one hand, outstanding statisticians present novel and up-to-date topics relevant for chemists and chemical engineers and on the other hand, outstanding chemists and chemical engineers present real-life problems and proposed solutions. This approach maximizes the interaction between the different groups: chemists and chemical engineers learn new statistical methods and statisticians hear about complex real-life problems. %%% The Gordol Research Conference on Statistics in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering lies on the interface between statistics, chemistry and chemical engineering. Hence, the conference attracts a broad spectrum of participants. The resulting cross-fertilization of ideas from different areas of science and engineering significantly benefits all participants. Research statisticians are exposed to real problems in chemistry and chemical engineering; applied chemists and statisticians learn first hand about new statistical research which they can use in their everyday work; and research chemists and chemical engineers can discuss their statistical ideas with eminent statisticians. Statistical methodology, as covered in this conference, provides important quantitative tools in numerous fields of research, including meeting national goals for improved competitiveness in the chemical industries via enhanced product quality and productivity, and recognition and avoidance of environmental hazards. This conference will allow open presentation and discussion of recent research on the frontiers of statistics and its relevance for all areas of chemistry and chemical engineering. ***
