9812810Scheepers This award will provide partial support for the featured speakersand also for some graduate students and other young mathematicians toattend the 1999, 2000, and 2001 BEST conferences, `BEST' being adeceptively lighthearted acronym for `Boise Extravaganzas in Set Theory,'a series of conferences devoted to one of the oldest and deepest topicsin the Foundations of Mathematics. The general format will be to buildeach of the three-day conferences around four one-hour lectures bydistinguished set theorists and to round out the program with shorter talkscontributed by those attracted to the featured speakers. This strategy hasbeen successful in the past---the series of conferences began in 1992---andparticipants are widely representative of set theoretic research acrossthe U.S. and Canada, with increasing participation from countriesoverseas. Participation by younger mathematicians, by women, and byunderrepresented minorities has been encouraged. The talks are held inbarrier free classrooms at Boise State University, and efforts are madeto accommodate special needs among the roughly twenty annual participants.The host institution provides office support and secretarial facilitieswithout cost to the participants or to the government.***

9812810Scheepers该奖项将为特约演讲者以及一些研究生和其他年轻数学家提供部分支持，以参加1999年，2000年和2001年的BEST会议，“BEST”是“Boise Extravaganzas in Set Theory”的缩写，这是一系列致力于数学基础中最古老和最深刻的主题之一的会议。会议的一般形式是，在为期三天的会议中，由著名的集合理论家进行四场一小时的演讲，并由那些被特邀演讲者吸引的人进行简短的演讲。这一策略在过去取得了成功——系列会议始于1992年——参与者广泛代表了美国和加拿大的集合论研究，海外国家的参与也越来越多。鼓励年轻数学家、女性和未被充分代表的少数族裔的参与。会谈在博伊西州立大学的无障碍教室里举行，并努力满足大约20名年度参与者的特殊需求。主办机构免费为与会者或政府提供办公支持和秘书设施
