AWM-SIAM Workshop and Kovalevsky Lecture, 2014

该项目将资助在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的工业与应用数学学会(SIAM)2014年年会上为职业早期女性举办的命名讲座和研讨会。索尼娅·科瓦列夫斯基讲座的特点是女性对数学科学的应用领域做出了重大贡献。这些讲座覆盖了广泛的听众，突出了女性的重要贡献，并对那些进入该行业的人起到了激励作用。该讲习班由妇女数学协会(AWM)组织，是旨在建立可持续网络、鼓励指导关系和促进研究合作的一系列相互关联的会议和讲习班的一部分。2014年AWM-SIAM研讨会将重点讨论非线性偏微分方程(PDE)的数值算法。非线性偏微分方程组存在于许多不同的领域，几十年来一直是理论和数值分析的核心研究领域。由于非线性，这些偏微分方程解可能具有奇性，从而不能满足经典意义下的方程。近年来，数值模拟极大地提高了我们对这类解的性质和行为的理解。研讨会的重点是一些最广泛研究的偏微分方程的数值方法。这个项目旨在解决经常导致数学科学领域的女性离开专业或无法茁壮成长的问题。研究表明，提高女科学家的能见度，提供指导和网络机会以对抗孤立，并为启动职业生涯提供资源，是解决这一问题的关键。AWM研讨会包括关于职业发展的研究讲座和小组讨论，为建立指导关系和研究合作提供了一个自然的环境。在这些会议上形成的联系使与会者更多地融入更广泛的研究社区。科瓦列夫斯基讲座是一个展示有成就的女性数学家杰出工作的机会，为年轻女性提供了榜样，并向更广泛的社会提供了视觉提醒，让人们了解女性数学家做出的重大贡献。

This project will fund a named lectureship and a workshop for early-career women at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in Chicago, Illinois. The Sonia Kovalevsky Lectureship features significant contributions by women to applied areas of the mathematical sciences. These lectures reach a broad audience, highlight important contributions by women, and serve as inspiration for those entering the profession. The workshop, organized by the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), is part of a series of interconnected conferences and workshops designed to create sustainable networks, encourage mentoring relationships, and promote research collaborations. The 2014 AWM-SIAM workshop will focus on numerical algorithms for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Nonlinear PDEs arise in many different fields and have been a core research area of theoretical and numerical analysis for many decades. Due to the nonlinearity, solutions to these PDEs may have singularities and thus cannot satisfy the equations in the classical sense. In recent years, numerical simulations have dramatically enhanced our understanding of the properties and behaviors of such solutions. The workshop will focus on numerical methods for some of the most widely studied PDEs.This project is designed to address issues that frequently cause women in the mathematical sciences to leave the profession or fail to thrive. Studies show that increasing the visibility of women scientists, providing mentoring and networking opportunities to combat isolation, and offering resources for launching careers are key to combating this problem. The AWM workshops, which include both research talks and panel discussions on career development, provide a natural environment for establishing mentoring relations and research collaborations. Contacts formed at these meetings lead to greater integration of the participants into the broader research community. The Kovalevsky Lecture is an opportunity to display outstanding work by accomplished female mathematicians, providing both role models for younger women and visual reminders to the broader community of the significant contributions being made by female mathematicians.
