Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory

该奖项支持参加2016年3月5日至6日在印第安纳州西拉斐特普渡大学举行的第三届密歇根湖组合学和图论研讨会。该系列研讨会的重点是组合学和图论，这是现代数学中两个非常活跃的研究领域。研讨会的地理位置旨在成为中西部大量研究人员和学生的焦点，并提供机会加强在各种图论和组合问题上的研究合作。该研讨会将面向中西部的大学进行宣传，培训学生和初级研究人员学习组合学和图论的重要经典和新兴技术。研讨会以两组三次的辅导课为特色，重点是在典型的研究生序列中并不总是呈现的组合学中的经典技术和结果，以及演讲者特别有资格阐述的新兴技术。普渡大学的Edray Goins教授的辅导课涉及“q系列、分区、生成函数”、“模块形式”和“应用”。肯塔基大学Margaret Readdy教授的辅导课涉及“量子组合学”、“共代数组合学”和“惠特尼分层与组合学”。此外，研讨会的特色是学生和早期职业教师的简短演讲。更多细节可在研讨会网站www.stat.purdue.edu/lmwcgt16/上找到

This award supports participation in the third Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory, held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, on March 5-6, 2016. The workshop series focuses on combinatorics and graph theory, which are two very active areas of research in modern mathematics. The geographical location of the workshop is intended as a focal point for the large number of researchers and students in the Midwest and provides opportunities to strengthen research collaborations on a variety of graph theoretical and combinatorial problems. The workshop, which will be advertised to universities throughout the Midwest, will train students and beginning researchers in important classical and emerging techniques of combinatorics and graph theory. The workshop features two sets of three tutorial lectures, focusing on classical techniques and results in combinatorics that are not always presented in typical graduate sequences, and on emerging techniques on which the speakers are particularly qualified to expound. Tutorial lectures by Professor Edray Goins from Purdue University concern "q-series, Partitions, Generating Functions," "Modular Forms," and "Applications." Tutorial lectures by Professor Margaret Readdy from the University of Kentucky concern "Quantum Combinatorics," "Coalgebraic Combinatorics," and "Whitney Stratifications and Combinatorics." In addition, the workshop features short talks by students and early-career faculty members. More details may be found at the workshop website www.stat.purdue.edu/lmwcgt16/
