Celebration of 150 Years of Progress in Mathematics

纪念华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校成立150周年我们将在圣路易斯华盛顿大学成立150周年之际组织一次会议，庆祝数学科学取得150周年的进步。该节目将展示来自广泛数学学科领域的七位杰出学者：罗伯特·布莱恩特·杜克大学几何R·R·科夫曼耶鲁大学小波，应用数学伊利诺伊州大学约翰·P·D‘Angelo几何分析约瑟夫·J·科恩普林斯顿大学偏微分方程式石溪大学布莱恩·劳森纽约州立大学石溪几何伊夫·迈耶巴黎大学调和分析理查德·肖恩斯坦福大学几何伊莱亚斯·M·斯坦普林斯顿大学调和分析我们的会议将包括面向公众的讲座和面向数学家的专门研讨会。我们认为我们的活动有两个载体：(1)让公众了解数学科学方面的进展；(2)刺激华盛顿大学和附近大学数学系的数学活动。我们的会议不会集中在过去150年的成就上。它将展望未来的前景。许多华盛顿大学的毕业生和本科生校友以及前博士后都同意参加这次活动。我们将特别努力，让来自大圣路易斯地区和全国各地的数学家参加我们的会议。我们正在使用直接邮件、电子邮件和个人联系人来让数学社区了解我们的活动。我们资金的很大一部分将专门用于资助妇女、年轻人、研究生和代表性不足群体的旅费。

150 Years of Progress in the Mathematical Sciences An Event to Honor the Sesquicentennial of Washington University in St. Louis We will organize a conference, on the occasion of the Sesquicentennial of Washington University in St. Louis, to celebrate 150 years of progress in the mathematical sciences. The program will showcase seven distinguished scholars from a broad range of mathematical subject areas:Robert Bryant Duke University geometry R. R. Coifman Yale University wavelets, applied mathematics John P. D'Angelo University of Illinois geometric analysisJoseph J. Kohn Princeton University partial differential equationsBlaine Lawson SUNY at Stony Brook geometry Yves Meyer Universite de Paris harmonic analysis Richard Schoen Stanford University geometry Elias M. Stein Princeton University harmonic analysis Our conference will feature both lectures for the public and specialized seminars for mathematicians. We see our activity as having two vectors: (1) to inform the public about progress in the mathematical sciences and (2) to stimulate mathematical activity in the mathematics departments at Washington University and nearby universities. Our conference will not concentrate on achievements of the past 150 years. It will look forward to prospects for the future.A number of Washington University graduate and undergraduate alumni as well as former postdocs have agreed to attend the event. We will make special efforts to include mathematicians from the greater St.Louis area and across the country in our conference. We are using direct mail, e-mail, and personal contacts to make the mathematical community aware of our event. A significant portion of our funding will be dedicated to subventing the travel expenses of women, young people, graduate students, and under-represented groups.
