Copper Mountain Conference on Multigrid Methods

铜山多重网格方法会议，2015年3月22日至27日，科罗拉多州铜山。这笔赠款是为了支持参加2015年铜山多重网格方法会议。该奖项的资金专门用于学生、妇女和科学家，他们是代表人数不足的群体的成员。铜山会议的与会者中有很大一部分是研究生(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赛者中的比例越来越高，但需要进一步增加，因此这个奖项也针对她们的参与。该奖项对学生、女性和少数族裔科学家的支持形式是减少注册费以及当地和旅行费用。这次会议的一个标志是“学生论文竞赛”，它从相当一部分学生与会者中挑选参赛作品，并在他们的教师指导下与他们的教师合作，从学生那里产生关于科学发现的非常高质量的论文。这些成果同整个会议一样，涉及广泛和重要的理论和应用领域，例如汇聚分析技术、数学软件的实施和开发，以及在新的环境中使用这种想法，包括先进的计算机体系结构和不确定度量化等新的应用。这里的目的是继续增加这些代表性不足的小组的成员的参与，以便通过这些有才华的研究人员的专业发展来提高多重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：迭代和多重网格方法。这两个领域为非常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。该奖项支持代表人数不足的群体的学生、妇女和科学家参加2015年大会。传统上，这些会议致力于通过促进有能力的研究生和初级科学家社区的发展和培育，确保迭代和多重网格方法领域未来的活力。通过其平等主义的结构，没有受邀的演讲者和所有相同长度的演讲，会议为年轻人提供了在轻松但科学严谨的环境中彼此见面和所有与会者见面的机制；这些机制包括专题教程、主题晚间研讨会，以及接触来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的广泛代表。这些会议有很高的学生参与率的传统(通常是30%-40%的参会者)，并将通过资助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促进多样性。这些会议汇聚了这些关键领域的世界领先从业者，产生了高水平的出版物、有效的应用程序代码，并建立了长期的合作研究伙伴关系。

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.
