The 2012 Midwest Geometry Conference will take place May 12-13, 2012 at the University of Oklahoma, located in Norman, Oklahoma. The conference will highlight recent developments and new research directions in a number of areas that include (but are not limited to): p-harmonic geometry, minimal varieties, geometric flows, complex and Riemannian geometry, conformal geometry, geometry of submanifolds, convex geometry, stochastic geometry, algebraic geometry, geometric measure theory, metric geometry, partial differential equations, several complex variables, Finsler geometry, mathematical physics, and related problems. They represents a wide spectrum of the topic. As a complement of the talks in the conference, the participants will have considerable opportunities to have discussions with the speakers and each other. The Midwest Geometry Conference had been an annual meeting since its founding in 1991 until 2007. This 2012 conference is committed to revive the Midwest Geometry Conference, in addition to bring in researchers of national and international statue, and students around the world to discuss their research and to interact with mathematicians and students from the Midwest and other regions at all levels. Summaries of talks are publicly reported.It is a wonderful event or phenomenon in mathematics that the results of one discipline of thought have startling and unexpected consequences in another. The conference is a valuable networking opportunity, as well as a great venue for dialogue on mathematical concepts, ideas, methods, problems, collaborations, and the direction of mathematics. By design, the Midwest Geometry Conference has two high-impact foci. First, the conference makes it possible for the exchange of ideas among members of the geometry community in the Midwest, as well as dissemination of important recent advances, nationwide and worldwide, in differential geometry, geometric analysis, integral geometry, and related fields in the broad sense. This helps cement research collaborations, brother-sister-hood, and mathematical contact. Second, the conference is committed to create a focused environment, conducive to a lively exchange of ideas, in which members of this regional community can benefit from each other's ideas, and from contact with leading geometers from outside the region. The intent of the conference is to be a top-drawer, cutting-edge research conference, attempting (as much as resources permit) to bring in the appropriate speakers at all levels, independent of where they are based. The conference will reflect, complement, or interact the main areas of focus of geometers in the Midwest. Funds will be used to for the travel and hosting costs for speakers, and participants. Minorities, women, persons with disabilities, graduate students, and junior faculty are especially encouraged to participate and to apply for support. Prior to the conference, experienced conference participants will present one or more introductory warm-up talks for interested graduate and undergraduate students. Public talks will address audiences for the public at large. Other events include Professor Shihshu Walter Wei's third (volunteer) graduate course without extra pay, Math 6683 Differential Geometry II at the University of Oklahoma in the spring of 2012, providing a general background for the conference.

2012年中西部几何大会将于2012年5月12日至13日在俄克拉何马州诺曼市的俄克拉何马大学举行。会议将重点介绍一些领域的最新发展和新的研究方向，这些领域包括(但不限于)：P-调和几何、极小变差、几何流、复几何和黎曼几何、保角几何、子流形的几何、凸几何、随机几何、代数几何、几何测度论、度量几何、偏微分方程、几个复变量、芬斯勒几何、数学物理和相关问题。它们代表了这个主题的广泛范围。作为会议演讲的补充，与会者将有相当多的机会与演讲者和彼此进行讨论。中西部几何大会自1991年成立以来一直是年度会议，一直持续到2007年。2012年的会议致力于重振中西部几何大会，此外，还将邀请国内和国际地位的研究人员和世界各地的学生讨论他们的研究，并与来自中西部和其他地区的各级数学家和学生进行互动。谈话的摘要是公开报道的。数学中一个思维学科的结果在另一个学科中产生令人震惊和意想不到的结果，这是数学中的一件奇事或现象。这次会议是一个宝贵的交流机会，也是一个就数学概念、思想、方法、问题、合作和数学方向进行对话的绝佳场所。按照设计，中西部几何大会有两个高影响力的焦点。首先，这次会议使中西部几何界成员之间的思想交流成为可能，并在全国和世界范围内传播在微分几何、几何分析、积分几何和广义相关领域的重要最新进展。这有助于巩固研究合作、兄弟姐妹关系和数学联系。第二，会议致力于创造一个有重点的环境，有利于活跃的思想交流，使这一区域共同体的成员能够从彼此的想法中受益，并通过与区域外的领先几何学者的接触而受益。会议的目的是成为一流的、前沿的研究会议，试图(在资源允许的情况下)吸引所有级别的适当演讲者，而不是他们的总部设在哪里。会议将反映、补充或互动中西部几何学家的主要重点领域。资金将用于支付演讲者和与会者的旅费和招待费用。特别鼓励少数民族、妇女、残疾人、研究生和初级教职员工参与并申请支持。在会议之前，经验丰富的与会者将为感兴趣的研究生和本科生进行一次或多次介绍性热身演讲。公众演讲将面向广大公众发表讲话。其他活动包括魏世书教授的第三次(志愿者)无额外报酬的研究生课程，2012年春季在俄克拉何马大学举行的数学6683微分几何II课程，为会议提供了总体背景。有关会议的更多细节，请访问www.w2.math.ou.edu/~wwei/mgc2012.html。
