Conferences on Frontiers of Applied and Computational Mathematics, 2008-2010

AhluwaliaDMS-0753092 研究人员在位于新泽西州纽瓦克的新泽西理工学院（NJIT）的校园里组织了一次关于应用和计算数学前沿的年度会议。 会议包括本科生和研究生，博士后研究员和初级教师的重要参与。 FACM系列会议在过去的四年里由NJIT的数学科学系和应用数学与统计中心组织，部分资金来自NJIT的战略倡议计划。 该会议已成为一个领先的论坛，传播研究应用和计算数学和应用统计。 2008-2010年的三年会议计划如下：FACM '08是一个大型的（250- 300人参加）应用数学大会，特别涉及数学生物学，流体动力学，波传播，应用概率和统计。 FACM '09和'10是规模较小（125-150人参加）的会议，重点分别是数学生物学和流体动力学，这是该部门的重点领域。 这个会议系列汇集了数学家，统计学家，物理学家，工程师和生物学家，分享他们在应用和计算数学和应用统计学方面的研究成果。 更广泛的影响是，在不同学科的研究人员利用应用数学、统计学和数值计算的方法进行讨论期间和之后，发生了重大的交叉施肥。 对于学生和博士后来说，这是一个重要的学习经历，可以帮助他们进行未来的陈述和研究。 对于这些学生中的许多人来说，这样一个地方性的研究会议是他们第一次接触到其他研究机构正在进行的高质量研究。 这种接触有助于学生努力模仿这些研究活动的质量。 过去的联邦军事委员会会议在妇女和代表人数不足的少数民族的参与方面有着良好的记录，并为保持这一趋势作出了特别努力。

AhluwaliaDMS-0753092 The investigators organize an annual conference on Frontiersin Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM) on the campus ofthe New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, NewJersey. The conferences include the significant participation ofundergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, andjunior faculty. The FACM conference series has been organizedover the past four years by the Department of MathematicalSciences and the Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics atNJIT and is partially funded through an NJIT Strategic InitiativePlan. The conference has become a leading forum for thedissemination of research in applied and computationalmathematics and applied statistics. The three year conferenceplan for 2008-2010 is as follows: FACM '08 is a large (250-300participants) general meeting in applied mathematics, involvingin particular mathematical biology, fluid dynamics, wavepropagation, and applied probability and statistics. FACM '09and '10 are smaller (125-150 participants) focused meetings onmathematical biology and fluid dynamics, respectively, which areareas of focus in the Department. This conference series brings together mathematicians,statisticians, physicists, engineers, and biologists to shareresults of their research in applied and computationalmathematics and applied statistics. The broader impacts are thatsignificant cross-fertilization takes place during and after theconferences between researchers in different disciplines whoutilize the methods of applied mathematics, statistics andnumerical computation. For students and postdocs, this is amajor learning experience that helps them with futurepresentations and research. For many of these students, such alocal research conference is their first exposure to high qualityresearch being undertaken at other research institutions. Thisexposure helps students strive to emulate the quality of theseresearch activities. Past FACM conferences have an excellentrecord of participation of women and underrepresented minorities,and special efforts are made to continue this trend.
