Midwest Algebraic Geometry Conference; Notre Dame, IN; November 7-9, 1997

9703871 Sommese该奖项支持一个代数几何会议，该会议旨在促进美国中西部研究代数几何问题的许多人之间的互动。会议特别针对许多研究生，博士后研究人员，以及在这一领域更资深的活跃研究人员，他们由于地理位置和缺乏旅行资源而被隔离。本次会议将有代表广泛领域的代数、算法和几何观点的主要发言人。代数几何在数学中有着悠久而重要的历史，特别是因为它与许多其他数学领域相互作用，如拓扑、分析、代数和数论。它在20世纪后半叶蓬勃发展，尤其是在这个国家。在最简单和最基本的层面上，代数几何研究由多项式方程定义的集合。这样的集合出现在计算机科学和机器人技术的许多问题中，并且代数几何与这些领域之间的相互作用越来越多。

9703871 Sommese This award supports a conference in algebraic geometry designed to promote interaction among the many people in the midwestern United States working on algebraic geometric questions. The conference is particularly aimed at the many graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and more senior active researchers in this area, who are isolated because of location and lack the resources to travel. This conference will have major speakers representing algebraic, algorithmic, and geometric viewpoints of the broad field. Algebraic geometry has a long and important history in mathematics, particularly because it interacts with so many other fields of mathematics, such as topology, analysis, algebra, and number theory. It has flourished during the last half of the twentieth century, especially in this country. At its simplest and most fundamental level, algebraic geometry studies sets defined by polynomial equations. Such sets arise in many problems in computer science and robotics, and there is increasing interaction between algebraic geometry and these fields.
