During the Fall semester of 2003 the Mathematical Sciences ResearchInstitute (MSRI) in Berkeley, California will sponsor a special program inDiscrete and Computational Geometry. The organizers for this semester-longprogram are Jesus De Loera (University of California at Davis), HerbertEdelsbrunner (Duke University), Jacob E. Goodman (City University of NewYork), Janos Pach (New York University), Micha Sharir (Tel AvivUniversity), Emo Welzl (ETH Zuerich), and Guenter Ziegler (TechnischeUniversitaet Berlin). The program will have many activities, includingpublic lectures, research for undergraduates, mini-courses, weeklyseminars, and three workshops. This award provides funding to help coverlodging and travel expenses for participants in the workshops.The Introductory Workshop is designed to introduce a broad range ofcomputer scientists, mathematicians, scientists working in related fields,and others interested in the topics of the program to current research inthese areas. The second workshop, on Mathematical Foundations of GeometricAlgorithms, is intended more as a forum for researchers in computerscience and mathematics to discuss their recent work with other activeresearchers. This workshop will focus on the design and analysis ofgeometric algorithms, and on the mathematical and algorithmic techniquesneeded to make these algorithms efficient. The third workshop, onCombinatorial and Discrete Geometry, will study discrete geometric objects(polyhedra, geometric graphs, sphere packings, tilings, lattices, and soforth) and their combinatorial structure, stressing the connectionsbetween discrete geometry and algebra, combinatorics, and topology.The Introductory Workshop in particular will extend the impact of theprogram well beyond the core of recognized researchers in this particulararea. MSRI's Human Resources Advisory Committee established theintroductory workshops in 1992 as a vehicle for making the material ofMSRI's major programs available to a broad scientific audience,particularly women and minorities who are still much too underrepresentedin the scientific enterprise. Through outreach activities such as aspecial weekend on geometry at Howard University in September 2002, MSRIhas recruited participants from underrepresented groups to participate inits 2003-04 programs and particularly the introductory workshops, and willwork with these participants to help make the material of the workshopsuseful for their endeavors at their home institutions. The PI and co-PIfor this grant have already recruited several participants for theseworkshops who are from historically Black colleges and universities, andwho have expressed a strong interest in bringing material from theseworkshops into contact with students in their undergraduate researchprograms and classrooms.

在2003年秋季学期期间，位于加利福尼亚州伯克利的数学科学研究学院（MSRI）将赞助一个特殊的程序，无差异和计算几何学。这个学期的较长程序的组织者是耶稣·德·洛拉（戴维斯分校），Herbertedelsbrunner（杜克大学），Jacob E. Goodman（纽约市城市大学），Janos Pach（纽约大学），Micha Sharir（Tel Avivuniversity），Emo Welzl（Eth Zuerich）（Eth Zuerich）和Guenterllin和Guenterllllll（Ensiis）。该计划将开展许多活动，包括公共讲座，针对本科生的研究，迷你场，每周的活动和三个研讨会。该奖项为参与者的参与者提供了资金，以帮助课程和旅行费用。入门研讨会旨在介绍广泛的计算机科学家，数学家，在相关领域工作的科学家以及其他对该计划对当前研究的计划感兴趣的人。第二个研讨会是关于几何法数的数学基础，它更多地是为计算机科学和数学研究人员与其他Activeresearcher讨论其最新工作的论坛。该研讨会将重点放在地几何算法的设计和分析上，以及数学和算法技术，以使这些算法有效。第三个研讨会，即临界和离散的几何形状，将研究离散的几何对象（Polyhedra，几何图，几何图形，球形包装，倾斜度，格子和Soforth）及其组合结构及其组合结构，并在范围内强调连接范围。这个特定的研究人员。 MSRI的人力资源咨询委员会于1992年成立了The Introtoductory Workshops，作为使MASSRI的主要计划的材料可供广泛的科学受众提供的工具，尤其是妇女和少数群体，这些妇女和少数民族仍然超出了科学企业的代表性不足。通过宣传活动，例如2002年9月在霍华德大学举行的几何学周末，MSRIHAS招募了来自代表性不足的团体的参与者参加INITS 2003-04计划，尤其是入门研讨会，并将与这些参与者一起工作，以帮助他们为他们的家庭机构提供努力的材料。这笔赠款的PI和副驾驶已经招募了来自历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的这些工作室的几位参与者，并且他们对将这些工作室的材料从本科研究课程和教室中的学生接触而表示强烈兴趣。
