International Conference on Advances in Scientific Computing; December 2009; Providence, RI

这笔赠款的目的是支持2009年12月6-8日在布朗大学举行的国际科学计算进展会议，以纪念David Gottlieb教授，并回顾最近的进展，探索科学计算和相关偏微分方程的数值解以及时间相关问题的数学建模及其应用的令人兴奋的新方向。这次会议的一个显著特点将是强调重要的数学在设计适用于现实世界问题的先进算法中的关键作用。会议将邀请演讲者，从对应用程序有浓厚兴趣的数值分析师，到应用和计算数学家，再到其他领域的工程师、物理学家和科学家。被邀请的演讲者名单既包括该领域的非常资深的领导者，也包括相对年轻的科学家。这份名单中既有妇女，也有少数族裔的数学家。拟议的会议将是一个有效的场所，供各种受邀发言者和与会者交流意见。它将为年轻参与者提供宝贵的指导，以发现有前途的问题和应用领域。预计本次会议将推动算法设计和应用方面的研究，利用重要的数学来提高效率和效果。这些算法已经并将继续广泛应用于涉及国家利益的应用，包括国土安全(图像处理和模式识别)、环境、航空航天工程、通信、能源科学和气候建模。

This purpose of this grant is to support an International Conference on Advances in Scientific Computing at Brown University on December 6-8, 2009, to honor the memory of Professor David Gottlieb and to review recent advances and explore exciting new directions in scientific computing and related numerical solution of partialdifferential equations and mathematical modeling for time dependent problems and their applications. A notable feature of this conference will be the emphasis on the crucial role of significant mathematics in the design of advanced algorithms applicable to real world problems. The conference will include invited speakers ranging from numerical analysts with a strong interest in applications, to applied and computational mathematicians to engineers, physicists and scientists in other fields. The list of invited speakers includes both very senior leaders in the fieldand relatively young scientists. Represented in this list are both women and minority mathematicians.The proposed conference will be an effective venue for the exchange of ideas among a diversified list of invited speakers and participants. It will provide valuable guidance to young participants to identify promising problems and application areas. It is expected that this conference will push forward the research in algorithm design and applications utilizing significant mathematics to improve efficiency and effectiveness. These algorithms have been and will continue to be widely used in applications which are of national interest, including homelandsecurity (image processing and pattern recognizing), environment,aerospace engineering, communications, energy science, and climatemodeling.
