Copper Mountain Conference On Multigrid Methods, Copper Mountain, Colorado, March 22-27, 2015.This grant is to support participation in the 2015 Copper Mountain Conference on Multigrid Methods. The funding from this award is specifically for students, women, and scientists who are members of underrepresented groups. The Copper Mountain Conferences have graduate students forming a very large fraction of the attendees (typically 30%-40%), many of them full participants who co-author papers and give presentations. Women and minorities are growing fractions of the attendees, but further increases are desired, so this award also targets their participation. Support for the students, women, and minority scientists from this award is in the form of reduced registration fees and local and travel expenses. A hallmark of this conference is a "Student Paper Competition," which draws entries from a significant fraction of the student attendees and results in extraordinarily high-quality papers on scientific discovery from the students, working in tandem with and under the guidance of their faculty advisors. These results, like the conferences as a whole, span wide-ranging and important theoretical and applications areas, such as techniques of convergence analysis, implementation and development of mathematical software, and use of such ideas in novel settings, including advanced computer architectures and new applications such as uncertainty quantification. The aim here is to continue the increase in participation by members of these underrepresented groups so that the multigrid discipline and science in general are improved by the professional development of these talented researchers.The Copper Mountain Conferences form arguably the premier conferences in two closely related mathematical fields: iterative and multigrid methods. These two fields provide computational support for numerical simulation of a very wide host of human endeavors, including environmental and energy research, medical and biological applications, and many other areas critical to the U.S. and international science and engineering community. This award supports the participation of students, women, and scientists who are members of underrepresented groups at the 2015 Conference. The Conferences traditionally work to ensure the future vitality of the fields of iterative and multigrid methods by facilitating development and nurturing of a community of capable graduate students and entry-level scientists. Through their egalitarian structure, with no invited speakers and all talks of equal length, the Conferences provide mechanisms for young people to meet each other and all participants in a relaxed yet scientifically rigorous setting; these mechanisms include topical tutorials, themed evening workshops, and access to the broad representation of participants from academia, national laboratories, and industry. The Conferences have a tradition of a very high level of student participation (typically 30-40% of attendees), and will cultivate this through supporting students' local and travel expenses. Emphasis is also placed on engendering diversity through support of women and minority scientists. These conferences bring together the world's leading practitioners in these critical fields and result in high-level publications, effective applications codes, and the establishment of long-term collaborative research partnerships.

多网格方法铜山会议，科罗拉多铜山，2015年3月22-27日。这笔资金用于支持参加2015年铜山多网格方法会议。该奖项的资金专门用于未被充分代表的群体的学生、女性和科学家。铜山会议的研究生在与会者中占很大比例（通常为30%-40%），其中许多人是正式参与者，他们共同撰写论文并发表演讲。女性和少数族裔在参会者中所占的比例越来越大，但还需要进一步增加，因此该奖项也针对她们的参与。该奖项对学生、妇女和少数民族科学家的支持形式是减免注册费、住宿费和差旅费。本次会议的一个标志是“学生论文竞赛”，它吸引了相当一部分学生参加，并在他们的指导老师的指导下，学生们在科学发现方面发表了非常高质量的论文。这些成果，就像整个会议一样，跨越了广泛而重要的理论和应用领域，如收敛分析技术，数学软件的实现和开发，以及在新环境中使用这些思想，包括先进的计算机体系结构和新的应用，如不确定性量化。这里的目标是继续增加这些代表性不足的群体成员的参与，以便通过这些有才华的研究人员的专业发展来提高多网格学科和科学的总体水平。铜山会议可以说是两个密切相关的数学领域的主要会议：迭代和多网格方法。这两个领域为广泛的人类活动的数值模拟提供了计算支持，包括环境和能源研究、医学和生物应用，以及对美国和国际科学和工程界至关重要的许多其他领域。该奖项支持未被充分代表群体的学生、妇女和科学家参与2015年大会。传统上，会议的工作是通过促进发展和培养有能力的研究生和入门级科学家的社区来确保迭代和多网格方法领域的未来活力。通过其平等的结构，会议没有邀请发言者，所有发言的长度都一样，为年轻人提供了一种机制，使他们能够在一个轻松但科学严谨的环境中相互会见并会见所有与会者；这些机制包括专题教程、主题晚间研讨会，以及来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的广泛参与者代表。会议有很高的学生参与水平的传统（通常是30-40%的与会者），并将通过支持学生的本地和旅行费用来培养这一点。还强调通过支持妇女和少数族裔科学家来实现多样性。这些会议汇集了这些关键领域的世界领先从业者，并产生了高水平的出版物，有效的应用代码，并建立了长期的合作研究伙伴关系。
