Midwest Algebra Geometry Combinatorics (ALGECOM) Conference Series

该奖项支持参加中西部代数几何组合(ALGECOM)会议，这是一系列一年两次、为期一天的会议，2015年秋季会议将于2015年10月24日在密歇根大学安娜堡举行。这些会议的目标是提供一个非正式和合作的氛围，促进中西部数学家之间的互动。旅行支持是针对研究生和演讲者的。会议将包括一个海报环节，允许学生和博士后展示他们的作品。这将有助于在中西部的各种机构开展STEM研究和培训。地点和日期是提前几个月选定的。过去/未来的地点还包括德保罗大学、洛约拉大学、印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校和伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校。会议网站是https://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/The会议系列，源于将具有共同兴趣(组合学及其与交换代数、代数几何和/或表示理论的相互作用)的数学家聚集在一起的愿望。特别是，它加深了芝加哥大学(德保罗和洛约拉)与伊利诺伊大学香槟分校、普渡大学和印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯分校之间的联系。这些机构在地域上有很大的分离；ALGECOM定期举行会议，以促进互动和协同作用。持续的支持允许从伊利诺伊州和印第安纳州向密歇根州延伸。这一奖项延续了这一趋势，特别是将使来自中西部和其他地区的研究生受益。

This award supports participation in the Midwest Algebra Geometry Combinatorics (ALGECOM) meetings, a series of biannual one-day conferences the Fall 2015 edition of which will be held on October 24, 2015, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The goal of these conferences is to provide an informal and collaborative atmosphere to promote interaction among Midwest mathematicians. Travel support is for graduate students and speakers. The conference will include a poster session that will permit students and postdocs to present their work. This will assist in the development of STEM research and training at a variety of Midwest institutions. Venues and dates are chosen several months in advance. Past/future locations also include DePaul University, Loyola University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The conference website is https://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/The conference series grew from a desire to bring together mathematicians with common interests (combinatorics and its interplay with commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and/or representation theory). In particular, it deepens the links between hosting Chicago universities (Depaul and Loyola) with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Purdue University, and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. These institutions have significant geographic separation; ALGECOM provides a regular meeting to stimulate interaction and synergies. Continuing support allows extension from Illinois and Indiana towards Michigan. This award continues this trend, which will in particular benefit graduate students both from the Midwest and elsewhere.
