Harvey Mudd College Mathematics Conference Series

这个奖项将支持一系列的年度数学会议开始于1999年，并在哈维穆德学院在克莱蒙，加州举行。这些会议，不寻常的，因为每年的主题各不相同，旨在使教师和高年级本科生接触前沿数学，并通过促进学生和教师与会议参与者之间的互动来增强哈维穆德学院的研究环境。 该奖项将为四位演讲者提供支持，一个贡献的海报会议，以及一个社区范围的会前谈话。它还将通过为研究生和最近的博士生提供旅行支持，大大扩大参加会议的地理范围。的，优先考虑代表性不足的群体的成员。通过每年秋季将一流的研究人员带到哈维穆德学院，会议使参与者接触到广泛的数学。过去的主题包括分析，应用数学，微分几何，应用代数和组合学，以及数学生物学。该奖项涵盖的会议计划主题是：几何，代数和系统发育树（2004年）;科学计算（2005年）;和枚举组合学（2006年）。 会议产生的活动和项目在哈维穆德学院教授的数学课程。 它们也是南加州数学家和数学学生的方便聚集地，促进了几个数学社区的互动和合作。 通过社区范围内的会前会谈，强调数学的影响和美感，这些会议每年将影响250多人，鼓励数学研究，同时也加强了公众对数学的认识。

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.
