Current Developments in Mathematics Conference

这是一项申请部分拨款的建议，由邱承东教授与哈佛大学及麻省理工学院的其他成员合办一系列现时的数学发展会议。三个会议中的第一个将于2009年11月在哈佛大学科学中心大楼举行。这一系列会议以汇聚各自领域前沿的优秀演讲者而闻名，并吸引了来自全国各地的大量听众。美国东北部的数学家从这样的活动中受益。他们来参与和交流，这是真正的跨学科活动。主题广泛，从数学物理到计算再到应用数学。从欧洲和亚洲远道而来的人参加了这次会议，对参与各方来说，这是非常富有成效的。资助申请主要面向来自全国各地的研究生和博士后研究员，其中许多是女学生和少数民族。一些研究生可以从演讲中获得足够的想法来写他们的论文，他们可以与演讲者就他们的研究主题进行交流。

This is a proposal requesting partial funding for a series of the Current Developments in Mathematics conferences organized by Professor Shing-Tung Yau and other members of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The first of the three conference will be held at Harvard University in the Science Center building in November, 2009. This series of conferences is known for bringing together excellent speakers at the forefront of their field as well as attracting a large audience from all over the country.Mathematicians in the Northeast part of America benefit from such activities. They come to participate and communicate with each other, and it is truly interdisciplinary activity. The topics are wide-ranging, from mathematical physics to computing to applied mathematics. People come to this conference all the way from Europe and Asia, and it has been very fruitful for all parties involved. The applications for funding are primarily for graduate studentsand postdoctoral fellows who travel from all over the country and many are female students and minorities. Some graduate students can get enough ideas from the talks to write their theses, and they can communicate with the speakers on their research topics.
