Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference 2010

密西西比州立大学数学与统计系将于2010年3月18日(星期四)至3月20日(星期六)主办第44届春季拓扑与动力系统年会。计划在连续统理论、动力系统、一般和集合论拓扑学、几何群论/几何拓扑学等4个平行会议，以及为期3天的6个全体会议和12个半全体会议。拓扑学和动力学可以被框定为用于在几乎任何环境和任何尺度上测量和描述“形状”和“时间演变”概念的数学。例如，这可以从纳米技术到宇宙的大小和形状。结合这些想法，如果我们从一个简单的形状和一个简单的过程开始(例如，考虑一台太妃糖拉丝机)，描述和预测未来的产量都可能变得复杂。拓扑学和动力学的理论工具对于理解这样的过程和系统是必不可少的，而这次会议正是致力于这样的理论。

The Mississippi State University Department of Mathematics and Statistics will host the 44th Annual Spring Topology and Dynamical Systems Conference from Thursday March 18 through Saturday March 20, 2010. Planned are four parallel sessions in continuum theory, dynamical systems, general and set theoretic topology, and geometric group theory/geometric topology, and also 6 plenary talks and 12 semiplenary talks over the course of 3 days. Topology and dynamics can be framed as the mathematics used for measuring and describing the notions of `shape' and `time evolution' in practically any context and on any scale. For example this can range from nanotechnology to the size and shape of the universe. Combining these ideas, if we begin with a simple shape and a simple process ( for example consider a taffy pulling machine), both describing and predicting the future output can become complicated.Theoretical tools from topology and dynamics are indispensable for understanding such processes and systems, and it is to such theories that the conference is devoted.
