Intermountain/Southwest Conference on Industrial and Interdisciplinary Mathematics

0123533 Stone该项目将支持在犹他州州立大学、科罗拉多州州立大学和亚利桑那州州立大学举行的山间/西南工业和跨学科数学会议的前三年。 会议系列，这将轮流在这些机构每年的基础上，将提供一个场地，介绍工业和跨学科的数学问题和论坛，讨论如何扩大传统的课程，以准备数学家的工业和跨学科的立场。会议将汇集来自学术界和工业界的研究人员，使山间/西南地区的计划之间的交叉施肥，并为学生提供一个场所，以展示他们的工作，并与其他学生，教师和来自行业的代表进行互动。这些年度会议的第一次将于2002年2月在犹他州洛根的犹他州州立大学举行。为期两天的会议将包括来自学术界和工业界的研究人员的特邀演讲，涉及教师和行业代表的圆桌讨论，较短的贡献会谈和/或海报会议，只涉及研究生的特别会议，以及本科生的信息会议。圆桌会议的讨论将侧重于（a）将当地工业的需要纳入数学课程和（B）该区域目前的研究活动。对于第一次会议，波音公司的代表已经同意参加，摩托罗拉、英特尔、IBM和惠普的个人也已接触。 参与也预计从物理，电气和计算机工程，计算机科学和工业工程系的教师。来自该地区其他大学和更广泛领域的教师和学生将被邀请参加。该系列会议将由数学科学部的应用数学计划和基础设施计划以及数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室共同支持。

0123533StoneThis project will support the first three years of the Intermountain/Southwest Conference on Industrial and Interdisciplinary Mathematics to be held at Utah State University, Colorado State University, and Arizona State University. The conference series, which will rotate among these institutions on an annual basis, would provide both a venue for the presentation of problems in industrial and interdisciplinary mathematics and a forum for the discussion of ways to broaden the traditional curriculum in order to prepare mathematicians for industrial and interdisciplinary positions. The conferences would bring together researchers from both academia and industry, enabling cross-fertilization between the programs in the Intermountain/Southwest region, and providing a venue for the students to present their work and interact with other students, faculty, and representatives from industry.The first of these annual meetings will be held at Utah State University in Logan, UT in February 2002. The two-day meeting will include sessions for invited talks by researchers from academia and industry, a round-table discussion involving faculty and industry representatives, sessions of shorter contributed talks and/or poster sessions, a special session involving only graduate students, and an informational session for undergraduates. The round-table discussion would focus on (a) integrating the needs of local industry into the mathematics curriculum and (b) current research activities in the region. For the first meeting, representatives from the Boeing Company have already agreed to attend and individuals at Motorola, Intel, IBM, and Hewlett Packard have been approached. Participation is also expected by faculty members from departments of physics, electrical and computer engineering, computer science, and industrial engineering. Faculty and students from other universities in the region and from broader areas will be invited to attend.This conference series will be jointly supported by the Applied Mathematics Program and the Infrastructure Program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences and by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
