35th Midwest Probability Colloquium

2013年10月10-12日，第35届中西部概率学术研讨会在西北大学举行。概率论一直是纯数学中最适用的分支。在过去的十年中，我们看到概率工具和方法在纯数学和应用数学的其他分支中明显地流行起来。今年的项目主题和演讲者的选择反映了该学科的广泛适用性。通过保持广泛的活跃研究方向，中西部概率研讨会继续提供一个论坛，在广泛的应用领域以及数学的核心领域交流知识兴趣。按照传统的形式，研讨会将分为指导课程和研究课程。研究计划的主讲人是：Martin Barlow（英属哥伦比亚大学）Lionel Levine（康奈尔大学）Dmitry Panchenko（德克萨斯大学）今年的指导计划的主题是“随机漫步”，将由Steve Lalley（芝加哥大学）主持MPC网站是http://www.math.northwestern.edu/mwp/

The 35th Midwest Probability Colloquium at Northwestern University on October 10-12, 2013, at Northwestern University. Probability theory has been the most applicable branch of pure mathematics. During the last decade we have seen a clear surge in popularity of probabilistic tools and methods in other branches of pure and applied mathematics. This year's selection of program topics and speakers reflect the broad scope of applicability of the discipline. By maintaining a wide range of active research directions, the Midwest Probability Colloquium continues to provide a forum for the exchange of intellectual interest across a wide array of applied fields as well as for core areas of mathematics. Following the well established traditional format, the colloquium will be divided into the Tutorial Program and the Research Program. The speakers of the Research Program are: Martin Barlow (University of British Columbia) Lionel Levine (Cornell University) Dmitry Panchenko (University of Texas, A & M)The topic of this year's Tutorial Program is "Random Walks on Groups" and willbe hosted by Steve Lalley (University of Chicago)The MPC website is at http://www.math.northwestern.edu/mwp/
