Sixth Mississippi State - UAB Conference on Differential Equations and Computational Simulations; May 13-15, 2005; Mississippi State, MS

该奖项将支持组织题为“第六届密西西比州- UAB微分方程和计算模拟会议”的多学科会议，其使命是提供一个联合论坛，让来自学术界和工业界的数学家，科学家和工程师交流研究和教育思想。这次会议是密西西比州立大学数学与统计系和伯明翰亚拉巴马大学机械工程系之间的合作奋进。会议的共同赞助者是密西西比州立大学的工程研究中心（ERC）、微分方程电子期刊（EJDE）和数学及其应用研究所（IMA）。为期两天的会议将邀请专家研究人员进行10场演讲，并发表约70篇论文。大部分资金将用于为研究生和新博士提供差旅费。特别是，将作出特别努力，鼓励学生和最近的博士学位的参与，从代表性不足的群体。由杰出的主要发言人的讲座和约150名跨学科研究人员的参与和互动将显着影响这一领域的发展。会议的主要目标是最佳地履行上述使命，同时促进微分方程和相关模拟的数学和计算分析的研究和教育。会议还将为研究生和年轻的博士生提供一个展示他们的工作，与其他研究人员，教育工作者和从业者会面的机会，了解拟议的跨学科领域的最新发展，并产生新一代的数学模型和挑战。

This award will support to organize a multidisciplinary conference entitled "The Sixth Mississippi State - UAB Conference on Differential Equations and Computational Simulations" with a mission of providing a joint forum where mathematicians, scientists, and engineers from the academia and industry exchange research and education ideas. The conference is a collaborative endeavor between the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Mississippi State University and Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The co-sponsors of the conference are Engineering Research Center (ERC) at Mississippi State University, Electronic Journal of Differential Equations (EJDE), and Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). This two-day conference will offer ten invited lectures by expert researchers and around 70 contributed papers. The majority of the funds will be used to provide travel expenses to the graduate students and new Ph.D.s. In particular, special effort will be made to encourage the participation of students and recent Ph.D.s from the underrepresented groups. Lectures by the outstanding principal speakers and the participation and interaction of around 150 interdisciplinary researchers would significantly impact the development of this field. The primary objective of the conference is to optimally fulfill the aforestated mission, while at the same time to promote research and education in mathematical and computational analysis of differential equations and associated simulations. The conference will also provide graduate students and young Ph.D.s an opportunity to present their work, meet other researchers, educators and practitioners, learn of recent developments in the proposed interdisciplinary field, and produce a new generation of mathematical models and challenges.
