The conference "What Next? The Mathematical Legacy of Bill Thurston" will be held at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York on June 23-27, 2014. Bill Thurston was one of the most profound and influential mathematical thinkers of our time. He made fundamental contributions to a wide variety of mathematical disciplines, but perhaps even more importantly he introduced new ways of thinking about and of seeing mathematics. The connections he discovered between disciplines broadened people's perspective and changed the way they approach problems. He also had a deep interest in communicating mathematics and many ideas about how this should be done. This meeting will bring together mathematicians from many different areas to share recent advances and explore future directions motivated by Thurston's transformative ideas. The meeting will include events featuring different ways of communicating mathematics, both to other mathematicians and to the general public.This award supports participation by junior researchers and invited speakers in this large conference, which is centered on the fundamental contributions of Bill Thurston to topology, geometry, and dynamical systems. The goal of this meeting is to bring together mathematicians from a broad spectrum of areas to describe recent advances and explore future directions motivated by Thurston's transformative ideas. Video archives of conference presentations will be made available online. Details about the conference are available at the web site www.math.cornell.edu/~thurston.

“下一步是什么？比尔·瑟斯顿的数学遗产”会议将于 2014 年 6 月 23 日至 27 日在纽约伊萨卡康奈尔大学举行。比尔·瑟斯顿是我们这个时代最深刻、最具影响力的数学思想家之一。 他对各种数学学科做出了基础性贡献，但也许更重要的是，他引入了思考和看待数学的新方法。 他发现的学科之间的联系拓宽了人们的视野，改变了他们处理问题的方式。他还对交流数学有着浓厚的兴趣，并就如何做到这一点提出了许多想法。 这次会议将汇集来自许多不同领域的数学家，分享最新进展并探索瑟斯顿变革思想所激发的未来方向。 该会议将包括以不同方式向其他数学家和公众传达数学知识的活动。该奖项支持初级研究人员和受邀演讲者参加这次大型会议，该会议的重点是比尔·瑟斯顿对拓扑、几何和动力系统的基本贡献。这次会议的目标是聚集来自广泛领域的数学家，描述瑟斯顿变革思想所激发的最新进展并探索未来方向。会议演示的视频档案将在网上提供。有关会议的详细信息，请访问网站 www.math.cornell.edu/~thurston。
