This award supports participation in the fourth Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (WIMS), held April 2, 2016 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The symposium aims to: (1) recognize and advocate collective achievements by female mathematicians in the Midwest, and (2) stimulate collaborations, networking, and mentoring relations. The meeting builds upon the success of previous symposia to establish the WIMS as an annual event rotating among colleges and universities in the Midwest. The symposium will attract female mathematicians in the Midwest at all stages of their careers; it is expected to draw about 100 participants, in particular, graduate students, early-career researchers, and faculty at small institutions who have limited access to resources enabling them to attend conferences. The symposium will feature two plenary lectures by distinguished senior researchers and eight shorter ones by promising junior researchers. The speakers are chosen to reflect the variety of institutions in the Midwest. Collectively, they will discuss a broad spectrum of cutting edge research. Lectures will be accompanied by open problem sessions, where the participants will work in small groups to discuss field-specific problems and develop new collaborations. Students and recent PhDs will contribute to the intellectual activity of the symposium by making poster presentations. This workshop is jointly funded by eight programs within the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences: Algebra & Number Theory, Analysis, Applied Math, Infrastructure, Mathematical Biology, Topology & Geometric Analysis, Foundations, and Probability.

该奖项支持参加 2016 年 4 月 2 日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行的第四届中西部女性数学研讨会 (WIMS)。研讨会的目的是：(1) 认可和倡导中西部女性数学家的集体成就，(2) 促进合作、网络和指导关系。此次会议以之前研讨会的成功为基础，将 WIMS 确立为中西部各学院和大学轮流举办的年度活动。该研讨会将吸引中西部处于职业生涯各个阶段的女性数学家；预计将吸引约100名参与者，特别是研究生、早期职业研究人员和小型机构的教职人员，他们参加会议的资源有限。研讨会将有两场由杰出的高级研究人员主讲的全体报告和八场由有前途的初级研究人员主讲的简短报告。发言人的选择反映了中西部机构的多样性。他们将共同讨论广泛的前沿研究。讲座将伴随开放式问题会议，参与者将以小组形式讨论特定领域的问题并开展新的合作。学生和应届博士生将通过海报展示为研讨会的智力活动做出贡献。该研讨会由 NSF 数学科学部的八个项目共同资助：代数与数论、分析、应用数学、基础设施、数学生物学、拓扑与几何分析、基础和概率。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问 http://www.math.illinois.edu/wims/。
