Mathematics Research Communities

这是美国数学学会(AMS)创建的一个国家项目，该项目旨在引导早期职业数学家进入研究社区，指导他们开始作为研究数学家的生活，并与其他研究人员建立工作关系。这个项目的目标是建立年轻数学家的研究队伍，他们将随着时间的推移保持自己的能力，促进联合研究和连贯的研究计划，最终将涉及数学的所有研究领域。这个项目是一个为期三年的项目，名为数学研究社区，包括总共11个会议，三个年度AMS/MAA联合数学会议的特别会议，以及一个指导计划和讨论网络。会议主题将包括纯数学和应用数学研究领域。在2008年的第一年，将举行三次会议，主题如下：--Teichmueller理论和低维拓扑学--科学计算和高级计算--计算代数和凸性--每一次会议都将聚集一群不同的年轻数学家。每一次会议的组织委员会都由会议领域的领导人组成，其中包括具有成功组织讲习班和会议经验的个人。这些会议的项目将把从不同角度研究核心问题的一群年轻数学家聚集在一起，并将促进概念和见解的交流，这种交流可以更容易地通过面对面的交流发生。AMS有着吸引优秀组织委员会的长期记录，这是任何会议成功的关键，并对其进行管理，以最大限度地增加与会者的经验。JMM的会议和特别会议将把资深和初级研究人员聚集在一个理想的环境中建立联系，这种联系通常在会议本身之后持续多年。最重要的是，该计划将侧重于开始他们的研究生涯的数学家；所有计划组成部分将帮助培训和联系下一代研究人员，最终在数学的所有研究领域。正是研究队列的形成使该计划有别于目前存在的任何其他(国家)数学家专业发展计划，也正是该计划的这一方面有可能为美国数十年的研究奠定基础。最后，AMS敏锐地意识到有必要增加未被充分代表的群体的参与，该计划的所有方面都将反映这种意识。该项目由数学科学部和国会议员多学科活动办公室(OMA)联合资助。

This is a project where the American Mathematical Society (AMS) to create a national program that initiates early career mathematicians into a research community, guiding them as they begin life as research mathematicians and form working relationships with other researchers. The goal of this project is to create research cohorts of young mathematicians that will sustain themselves over time, fostering joint research and coherent research programs that will, eventually, reach all research areas of mathematics. This project is a three-year program, Mathematics Research Communities, that would include a total of eleven conferences, special sessions at three annual AMS/MAA Joint Mathematics Meetings, as well as a mentoring program and discussion network. Conference topics will include both pure and applied mathematics areas of research. In the first year, 2008, three conferences will be held on the following topics:- Teichmueller Theory and Low-Dimensional Topology- Scientific Computing and Advanced Computation- Computational Algebra and ConvexityEach of these conferences will bring together a diverse group of young mathematicians. The organizing committee for each conference is composed of leaders in the field of the conference and includes individuals with previous experience in organizing successful workshops and conferences. The programs of these conferences will bring together groups of young mathematicians who are working on core problems from different perspectives, and will foster exchanges of concepts and insights that can occur more readily with face-to-face communication. The AMS has a long track record of attracting outstanding organizing committees, a key to any successful conference, and administering them so as to maximize the experience of participants.The conferences and special sessions at the JMM will bring together senior and junior researchers in an ideal environment to establish connections, which often last for many years after the conference itself. Most importantly, this program will focus on mathematicians who are beginning their research careers; all program components will help to train and connect the next generation of researchers in, eventually, all research areas of mathematics. It is the formation of research cohorts that sets this program apart from any other (national) professional development programs for mathematicians that currently exist, and it is this aspect of the program that has the potential to lay a foundation for decades of research in the U.S. Finally, the AMS is keenly aware of the need to increase participation of underrepresented groups, and all aspects of the program will reflect that awareness.This project was jointly funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences and MPS' Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA).
