Mathematics Research Communities

这是美国数学学会（AMS）创建的一个国家项目，旨在将早期职业数学家引入一个研究社区，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。该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而维持自己，促进联合研究和连贯的研究项目，最终将涉及数学的所有研究领域。该项目是一个为期三年的数学研究社区计划，将包括共11次会议，三次年度AMS/MAA联合数学会议的特别会议，以及指导计划和讨论网络。会议主题将包括纯数学和应用数学领域的研究。在第一年，2008年，将举行三次会议，主题如下：- Teichmueller理论与低维拓扑-科学计算与高级计算-计算代数与凸性每一次会议将汇集不同群体的年轻数学家。每个会议的组织委员会由会议领域的领导者组成，其中包括具有成功组织研讨会和会议经验的个人。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，这种交流更容易通过面对面的交流来实现。医疗辅助队在吸引优秀的组织委员会（这是会议成功的关键）并管理他们以最大限度地提高与会者的体验方面有着悠久的历史。JMM的会议和特别会议将把高级和初级研究人员聚集在一个理想的环境中，建立联系，这种联系通常会在会议结束后持续多年。最重要的是，这个项目将专注于数学家谁是开始他们的研究生涯；所有项目的组成部分将有助于培养和连接下一代的研究人员，最终，所有的数学研究领域。正是研究群体的形成使这个项目与目前存在的任何其他（国家）数学家专业发展项目不同，正是这个项目的这一方面有可能为美国几十年的研究奠定基础。最后，AMS敏锐地意识到需要增加未被充分代表的群体的参与，项目的各个方面都将反映出这种意识。该项目由数学科学部和MPS多学科活动办公室（OMA）共同资助。

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).
