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Urbana-Champaign大学举行的数学研讨会第四位女性。该研讨会的目的是：（1）认识并倡导女性数学家在中西部的集体成就，以及（2）刺激合作，网络和指导关系。这次会议是基于以前的研讨会成功建立WIMS作为中西部大学和大学之间轮流的年度活动的成功。研讨会将在其职业生涯的各个阶段吸引中西部女性数学家。预计将吸引大约100名参与者，特别是研究生，早期研究人员和小型机构的教职员工，他们获得资源的机会有限，使他们能够参加会议。该研讨会将由杰出的高级研究人员和八个较短的研究人员提供两次全体讲座。选择演讲者以反映中西部的各种机构。他们将共同讨论广泛的尖端研究。讲座将伴随开放式问题会议，参与者将在小组中工作，讨论特定现场的问题并发展新的合作。学生和最近的博士学位将通过进行海报演讲来促进研讨会的智力活动。该研讨会由NSF数学科学部门中的八个计划共同资助：代数和数字理论，分析，应用数学，基础架构，数学生物学，拓扑和几何学和几何学分析，基金会和概率。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://www.math.illinois.edu/wims/。
