This award will support a series of annual mathematics conferences begun in 1999 and held at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. These conferences, unusual because the topics vary from year to year, are designed to expose faculty and advanced undergraduate students to cutting-edge mathematics, and to enhance the Harvey Mudd College research environment by fostering interactions between its students and faculty and the participants of the conference. This award will provide support for four speakers, a contributed poster session, and a community-wide pre-conference talk. It will also significantly broaden the geographic participation in the conferences by providing travel support for graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s, with preference given to members of underrepresented groups.By bringing topflight researchers to Harvey Mudd College each fall, the conferences expose participants to a wide range of mathematics. Past topics have included analysis, applied mathematics, differential geometry, applied algebra and combinatorics, and mathematical biology. The planned topics for the conferences covered by this award are: geometry, algebra, and phylogenetic trees (2004); scientific computing (2005); and enumerative combinatorics (2006). The conferences give rise to activities and projects in mathematics courses taught at Harvey Mudd College. They also serve as a convenient gathering place for mathematicians and mathematics students in Southern California, fostering interaction and collaboration in several mathematical communities. With community-wide pre-conference talks that emphasize the impact and beauty of mathematics, these conferences will annually influence over 250 people, encouraging mathematical research while also strengthening public awareness of mathematics.

该奖项将支持从1999年开始在加利福尼亚州克莱蒙特的哈维·穆德学院举行的一系列年度数学会议。这些会议不同寻常，因为每年的主题都不同，旨在让教职员工和高级本科生接触尖端数学，并通过促进学生和教职员工与会议参与者之间的互动来改善哈维·马德学院的研究环境。这一奖项将为四位演讲者提供支持，一次投稿海报会议，以及一次全社区的会前演讲。它还将通过为研究生和新近获得博士学位的S提供旅行支持，极大地扩大会议的地域参与度，优先考虑代表性不足的群体的成员。每年秋天，通过将一流的研究人员带到哈维马德学院，会议让与会者接触到广泛的数学知识。过去的课程包括分析、应用数学、微分几何、应用代数和组合学以及数学生物学。该奖项所涵盖的会议的计划主题是：几何、代数和系统发育树(2004)；科学计算(2005)；和列举组合学(2006)。这些会议带来了哈维穆德学院数学课程中的活动和项目。它们还为南加州的数学家和数学学生提供了一个方便的聚会场所，促进了几个数学社区的互动和合作。通过社区范围的会议前讲座，强调数学的影响和美丽，这些会议每年将影响超过250人，鼓励数学研究，同时也加强公众对数学的认识。
