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.

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 年年会上为早期职业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应用领域的重大贡献。这些讲座面向广泛的受众，突出了女性的重要贡献，并为进入该行业的人们提供了灵感。 该研讨会由女性数学协会 (AWM) 组织，是一系列相互关联的会议和研讨会的一部分，旨在创建可持续的网络、鼓励指导关系和促进研究合作。 2014 年 AWM-SIAM 研讨会将重点关注非线性偏微分方程 (PDE) 的数值算法。 非线性偏微分方程出现在许多不同的领域，并且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，这些偏微分方程的解可能具有奇点，因此不能满足经典意义上的方程。 近年来，数值模拟极大地增强了我们对此类解决方案的属性和行为的理解。 该研讨会将重点讨论一些研究最广泛的偏微分方程的数值方法。该项目旨在解决经常导致数学科学领域的女性离开该行业或无法发展的问题。 研究表明，提高女科学家的知名度、提供指导和交流机会以消除孤立感，以及为开展职业生涯提供资源是解决这一问题的关键。 AWM 研讨会包括有关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自然的环境。 在这些会议上形成的联系使参与者更好地融入更广泛的研究社区。 科瓦列夫斯基讲座是展示杰出女性数学家杰出工作的机会，既为年轻女性提供了榜样，又以视觉方式提醒更广泛的社区女性数学家所做出的重大贡献。
