Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics 2014, May 22 - 23, 2014

该项目支持本科生和研究生、博士后研究员、初级教师和其他研究人员参加在新泽西理工学院举行的“应用和计算数学前沿”(FACM)会议。这一成功的系列会议是在过去十年中由NJIT数学科学系和应用数学与统计中心组织的。该年度会议已成为传播应用数学和计算数学及统计学研究的主要论坛。FACM会议比大型社会会议更亲密，更以学生为中心，组织者的一个目标是将未来的应用数学领导者介绍给成熟的研究人员和新兴的研究领域。通过竞争性的申请过程，研究生和博士后的参与度大大提高，通过这一过程，他们可以与顶尖科学家一起以微型符号形式发表演讲。过去的FACM会议在妇女和代表不足的少数群体的参与方面有很好的记录，将特别努力继续这一趋势。FACM 2014年的重点是数学生物学和生物统计学。会议的特点是邀请全体会议、小型研讨会和海报会议，讨论当前最感兴趣的领域，如大型数据集的分析、计算生物学、昼夜节律和大脑疾病的模型。这一系列会议将数学家、统计学家、科学家和工程师聚集在一个发生重大互动和交叉受精的环境中。对于学生和博士后来说，这将是一次重要的学习和网络体验，将有助于他们的研究和职业道路。

This project supports the participation of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and other researchers in a conference on "Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics" (FACM) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). This successful conference series has been organized over the past ten years by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics at NJIT. The annual meeting has established itself as a leading forum for the dissemination of research in applied and computational mathematics and statistics. FACM conferences are more intimate and student centered than large society meetings and a goal of the organizers is to introduce future leaders of applied mathematics to established investigators and emerging research areas. Participation among graduate students and postdocs is greatly enhanced through a competitive application process by which they can give presentations in minisymposia alongside leading scientists. Past FACM conferences have an excellent record of participation of women and underrepresented minorities, and special efforts will be made to continue this trend.FACM 2014 is focussed on mathematical biology and biostatistics. The meeting features invited plenary talks, minisymposia, and poster sessions on areas of great current interest, such as analysis of large data sets, computational biology, circadian rhythms, and models of brain disorders. This conference series brings together mathematicians, statisticians, scientists and engineers in an environment where significant interaction and cross-fertilization take place. For students and postdocs, this will be a major learning and networking experience that will help them with their research and career paths.
