Northeast Probability Seminar 2014

这一建议是为了支持未来三个东北概率研讨会。三次会议中的第一次会议将于2014年11月20日至21日在纽约市的哥伦比亚大学举行。 东北概率研讨会是一个为期两天的会议，每年11月举行。会议的目标是由公认的和有前途的概率论者进行会谈。组织者将继续邀请妇女发言，并从其他代表性不足的群体中寻找发言者。会议将有四个专题会谈，两个在星期四上午和两个在星期五上午。星期四和星期五下午将安排非正式会议，鼓励与会者就他们最近的工作做10分钟的报告，或讨论开放的问题。像这样的专业数学会议是非常重要的。它们给人们提供了一个交流思想和尝试新理论的机会。他们还为年轻人提供了一个向有经验的数学家提问的机会。区域会议特别重要，因为很容易对重要对话采取后续行动。他们还培养了归属感的一组积极的研究人员-在这种情况下，东北概率组。http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/probability/NortheastProbabilitySeminar/

This proposal is for support of the next three Northeast Probability Seminars. The first of the three meetings will be held November 20-21, 2014 in New York City at Columbia University. The Northeast Probability Seminar is a two-day conference to be held annually during the month of November. The goal of the conference is to have talks by both well established and promising probabilists. The organizers will continue to invite women to speak and to seek speakers from other underrepresented groups. The meetings will have four featured talks, two on Thursday morning and two on Friday morning. Thursday and Friday afternoons will be set aside for informal sessions where participants will be encouraged to give ten-minute presentations of their recent work or to discuss open problems.Specialized mathematical meetings like this are very important. They give people an opportunity to exchange ideas and try out new theories. They also give young people an opportunity to question experienced mathematicians. Regional meetings are especially important because it is easy to follow up on significant conversations. They also foster the sense of belonging to a group of active researchers--in this case the Northeast Probability group.The conference website is: http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/probability/NortheastProbabilitySeminar/
