The award funds a conference "Groups, Computation, and Geometry" at Pingree Park, a campus of Colorado State University, June 9-13, 2014. Building on the successes of an earlier conference, held at the same location in 2004, the broad goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers in the closely related fields of computational group theory and finite geometries. The scientific content of the conference is designed to explore known and emerging connections between a broad range of topics, including scientific computing, combinatorics, group theory, and theoretical computer science, with a view both to providing answers to open theoretical questions and to investigating practical applications. Historically, the interplay between practical and theoretical concerns has led to advances on both fronts, and cross-paradigm collaboration of this type will feature prominently at the conference. Further programming details may be found at the conference website: http://www.math.colostate.edu/~hulpke/pingree/index.html.Group theory is often described as the algebraic study of symmetry in the abstract. Group theory arises and is used in a wide variety of other fields, including solid state physics, chemistry (crystallography), coding theory, and cryptography. Geometry has always played a crucial role in understanding the structure of groups, and over the last forty years machine computations have been increasingly important to developments in both fields. The subject of the conference is the interaction between theoretical questions concerning groups and geometries and algorithmic questions arising from extensive machine computation with these fundamental objects.

该奖项为2014年6月9日至13日在科罗拉多州立大学校园Pingree Park举行的“群体、计算和几何”会议提供资金。在2004年在同一地点举行的一次会议取得成功的基础上，会议的广泛目标是将计算群论和有限几何等密切相关领域的研究人员聚集在一起。会议的科学内容旨在探索广泛的主题之间的已知和新兴联系，包括科学计算，组合学，群论和理论计算机科学，以期为开放的理论问题提供答案并调查实际应用。 从历史上看，实践和理论问题之间的相互作用导致了这两个方面的进步，这种类型的跨范式合作将在会议上占据突出地位。进一步的编程细节可以在会议网站上找到：http://www.math.colostate.edu/~hulpke/pingree/index.html.Group理论通常被描述为抽象的对称性的代数研究。 群论产生并被广泛应用于其他领域，包括固态物理，化学（晶体学），编码理论和密码学。 几何学在理解群的结构方面一直起着至关重要的作用，在过去的40年里，机器计算对这两个领域的发展越来越重要。 会议的主题是理论问题之间的相互作用有关群体和几何和算法问题所产生的广泛的机器计算与这些基本对象。
