Geometry Festival

自1985年以来，每年一度的几何节一直在宾夕法尼亚大学、马里兰大学、北卡罗来纳大学、纽约州立大学石溪分校、杜克大学和纽约大学库兰特数学科学研究所举行。这次为期三天的会议主要集中在几何和相关领域的主要最新成果。通常有七个受邀的一小时的演讲，没有平行的会议，有足够的机会和空间让团体聚集在一起讨论。该奖项为研究生、博士后、研究人员、特邀演讲者和代表不足群体的人士出席会议提供部分支持。几何节的设施都是无障碍的。在最近的几个几何节上，都有专门为女性数学家举办的活动。几何节于1998年4月2日至5日在纽约州立大学石溪分校举行，1999年4月16日至18日在宾夕法尼亚大学举行，将于2000年4月14日至16日在马里兰大学举行。未来的选址大约提前一年确定。欲了解更多信息，请访问去年会议的几何节网站http://www.math.upenn.edu/geometryfestival.html，和即将召开的会议网站http://www.math.umd.edu/research/geomfest。一旦知道这一点，每个几何节网站都包含一个指向下一节网站的链接。

THE GEOMETRY FESTIVALDMS-0072580The annual Geometry Festival has been held since 1985 at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Maryland, the University of North Carolina, the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Duke University and New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. This three day conference focuses on the major recent results in geometry and related fields. There are typically seven invited one-hour talks, no parallel sessions, and ample opportunity and space for groups to get together for discussion. The award provides partial support for graduate students, post-doctoralresearchers, invited speakers and persons from under-represented groups to attend the conference. Facilities at the Geometry Festival arehandicapped-accessible. In several recent Geometry Festivals, there have been special activities for women mathematicians. The Geometry Festival was held April 2-5, 1998 at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, April 16-18, 1999 at the University of Pennsylvania, and will be held April 14-16, 2000 at the University of Maryland. Future sites are decided approximately one year in advance. Further information is available at the Geometry Festival websites for last year's conference, http://www.math.upenn.edu/geometryfestival.html, and at thesite for the upcoming conference, http://www.math.umd.edu/research/geomfest . Each Geometry Festival website contains a link to the website for the next Festival, as soon as this is known.
