This project is a three-year effort to support participation in the 2010 and 2012 Copper Mountain Conferences on Iterative Methods and the 2011 Copper Mountain Conference on Multigrid Methods. The funding in this award is specifically intended to support the participation of students, women, and minority scientists. The Copper Mountain Conferences have graduate students forming a very large fraction of the attendees (typically 30%-40%), many of them full participants who co-author papers and give presentations. Women and minorities are growing fractions of the attendees (e.g., 27 of 49 students participating in 2008 were women); this award funding is targeted to further enhance their proportions. Support for the students, women, and minority scientists from this award is in the form of reduced registration fees, travel support, and subsidized meals and lodging. The funding also supports a "Student Paper Competition", which draws entries from a significant fraction of the student attendees and results in extraordinarily high-quality papers on scientific discovery from the students, working in tandem with and under the guidance of their faculty advisors. These results, like the conferences as a whole, span wideranging and important theoretical and applications areas, such as techniques of convergence analysis, implementation and development of mathematical software, and use of such ideas in novel settings, including advanced computer architectures and new applications such as uncertainty quantification.The Copper Mountain Conference series form arguably the premier conferences in two closely related mathematical fields: iterative and multigrid methods. These two fields provide computational support for numerical simulation of a very wide host of endeavors, including environmental and energy research, medical and biological applications, and many other areas critical to the U. S. and international science and engineering community. This award supports the participation of students, women, and minority scientists at those Conferences. The Conferences? traditionally work to ensure the future vitality of the fields of iterative and multigrid methods by facilitating development and nurturing of a community of capable graduate students and entry-level scientists. Through their egalitarian structure, with no invited speakers and all talks of equal length, the Conferences provide mechanisms for young people to meet each other and all participants in a relaxed yet scientifically rigorous setting; these mechanisms include topical tutorials, themed evening workshops, and access to the broad representation of participants from academia, national laboratories, and industry. The Conferences have a tradition of a very high level of student participation (typically 30-40% of attendees), and will cultivate this through supporting students' local and travel expenses. An emphasis is placed on engendering diversity through support of women and minority scientists. These conferences bring together the world?s leading practitioners in these critical fields and result in high-level publications, effective applications codes, and the establishment of longterm collaborative research partnerships.

该项目为期三年，旨在支持参加2010年和2012年关于迭代方法的铜山会议以及2011年关于多重网格方法的铜山会议。该奖项的资金专门用于支持学生、女性和少数族裔科学家的参与。铜山会议的与会者中有很大一部分是研究生(通常为30%-40%)，其中许多人是正式参与者，他们共同撰写论文并发表演讲。妇女和少数群体在参与者中的比例越来越大(例如，2008年参加的49名学生中有27名是女性)；这项奖励资金旨在进一步提高她们的比例。该奖项对学生、女性和少数族裔科学家的支持形式是减少注册费、旅行补贴和食宿补贴。这笔资金还用于支持“学生论文竞赛”，该竞赛从相当一部分学生参与者中抽取参赛作品，并在他们的教师指导下与他们的教师合作，从学生那里产生关于科学发现的非常高质量的论文。这些成果，就像整个会议一样，涵盖了广泛的重要理论和应用领域，如收敛分析技术、数学软件的实现和开发，以及在新环境中使用这些思想，包括先进的计算机体系结构和不确定性量化等新应用。铜山会议系列可以说构成了两个密切相关的数学领域的主要会议：迭代和多重网格方法。这两个领域为许多领域的数值模拟提供了计算支持，包括环境和能源研究、医学和生物应用，以及对美国和国际科学和工程界至关重要的许多其他领域。该奖项支持学生、女性和少数族裔科学家参加这些会议。会议？通过促进有能力的研究生和初级科学家群体的发展和培育，传统上致力于确保迭代和多重网格方法领域的未来活力。通过其平等主义的结构，没有受邀的演讲者和所有相同长度的演讲，会议为年轻人提供了在轻松但科学严谨的环境中彼此见面和所有与会者见面的机制；这些机制包括专题教程、主题晚间研讨会，以及接触来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的广泛代表。这些会议有很高的学生参与率的传统(通常是30%-40%的参会者)，并将通过资助学生的本地和旅行费用来培养这一点。重点是通过支持妇女和少数族裔科学家来促进多样性。这些会议汇聚了世界-S在这些关键领域的领先从业者，并导致了高水平的出版物，有效的应用程序代码，并建立了长期的合作研究伙伴关系。
