This award will help support the Big Sky Conference on Discrete Mathematics which is held in Missoula, Montana. There are two main objectives of the conference. First, the conference is designed to bring together researchers and educators from the geographical area with interests in discrete mathematics in order for them to share ideas, present their work, and collaborate. Topics for the conference cover areas of discrete mathematicsincluding combinatorics, graph theory, discrete geometry, design theory and theoretical computer science. The conference attracts mathematicians and computer scientists from western US and Canada and in doing so has strengthened the discrete mathematics community in the region. The conference also includes two research-level invited addresses. One is given by a senior-level experienced mathematician and the other by a younger researcher who has made significant contributions to the field. The presence of these internationally-known researchers greatly enhances the conference. Secondly, the conference seeks to provide an opportunity for students, teachers, and others in the region to learn more about contemporary mathematics. This award provides support for undergraduate and graduate students to attend the conference and present their work. In addition, a public lecture (given by one of the invited speakers) is an integral part of the Big Sky Conference. The audience, comprised of people of all ages and many different walks of life, is treated to a dynamic lecture on the beauty and relevance of mathematics. The conference will be hosted by The University of Montana.The Big Sky Conference on Discrete Math is held in the early fall at The University of Montana. The primary focus of the conference is stimulation and dissemination of research and creative ideas in discrete mathematics. This includes promoting collaboration among regional colleagues, supporting student research, and demonstrating to the general populace that mathematics is a dynamic evolving field with applications in modern society. The events of the conference include contributed talks by faculty and students and three invited addresses. One of the principle speakers is an internationally acclaimed specialist and outstanding expositor. This speaker gives a research level seminar and a public lecture. With attendance at the public lecture between 300 and 500 people, public awareness of mathematics has flourished during the years of the Big Sky Conference. The other speaker is a younger researcher who has made a significant contribution to an area of discrete mathematics. This person typically gives a specialized talk about a recent advancement in the field. The conference attracts researchers,educators, and students from the US and Canada, especially those in the northwest region.

该奖项将帮助支持在蒙大拿州密苏拉举行的离散数学大天空会议。这次会议有两个主要目标。首先，会议旨在汇集来自地理区域对离散数学感兴趣的研究人员和教育工作者，以便他们分享想法，展示他们的工作并进行合作。会议的主题涵盖了离散数学领域，包括组合学、图论、离散几何、设计理论和理论计算机科学。会议吸引了来自美国西部和加拿大的数学家和计算机科学家，这样做加强了该地区的离散数学社区。会议还包括两个研究级别的邀请演讲。一个是资深的资深数学家，另一个是对该领域有重大贡献的年轻研究者。这些国际知名研究人员的出席大大提高了会议的质量。其次，会议旨在为该地区的学生、教师和其他人提供更多了解当代数学的机会。该奖项为本科生和研究生参加会议并展示他们的工作提供支持。此外，公开讲座（由受邀演讲者之一提供）是大天空会议的一个组成部分。观众，包括所有年龄和许多不同行业的人，被视为一个充满活力的讲座的美丽和数学的相关性。会议将由蒙大拿大学主办。离散数学大天空会议将于初秋在蒙大拿大学举行。会议的主要焦点是刺激和传播离散数学的研究和创造性思想。这包括促进区域同事之间的合作，支持学生的研究，并向大众证明数学是一个动态发展的领域，在现代社会中有应用。会议的活动包括教师和学生的演讲和三位邀请演讲。其中一位主讲人是国际知名的专家和杰出的说明者。这位演讲者做了一次研究级别的研讨会和公开演讲。参加公开讲座的人数在300到500人之间，公众对数学的认识在大天空会议期间蓬勃发展。另一位发言者是一位年轻的研究人员，他在离散数学领域做出了重大贡献。这个人通常会就该领域的最新进展做一个专门的演讲。会议吸引了来自美国和加拿大的研究人员、教育工作者和学生，尤其是西北地区的学生。
