Eastern Illinois Integrated Conference in Geometry, Dynamics, and Topology

该奖项支持将于2016年4月15日至17日在东伊利诺伊大学举行的东伊利诺伊几何、动力学和拓扑综合会议。这次会议是综合的，因为它吸引了数学生涯各个阶段的参与者，特别关注早期职业生涯的研究生和本科生。这种类型的会议汇集了从学术年轻到成熟的研究人员，但提供的研究重点比通常在本科生会议上发现的更狭窄。这种狭隘的关注有助于在数学研究的背景下促进更有意义的接触。会议旨在激发年轻数学家对研究数学的兴趣，促进代际和代际研究联系，并展示如何将本科生纳入这些领域的研究项目。组委会将邀请3位知名演讲者和3位创业初期演讲者；选择这些演讲者是因为他们在各自领域的卓越成就，以及他们为具有广泛数学背景的听众提供有意义的复杂主题介绍的能力。研究生和本科生提交的邀请将于2月中旬发出。提交的摘要将由由东伊利诺伊大学教师组成的特定学科委员会进行审查。将邀请最多6名研究生和12至15名本科生以讲座或海报形式进行演讲。除了会谈和海报会议，会议还提供了不太正式的互动机会，包括周五和周六晚上的社交活动。我们越来越关注将本科生融入专业生活，包括由资助的研究生和早期职业数学家进行的小组讨论，涵盖了参加研究生院和追求数学学术生涯的重要但很少讨论的方面。更多信息请访问会议网站：https://ux1.eiu.edu/~gdt/2016.html

This award supports the Eastern Illinois Integrated Conference in Geometry, Dynamics, and Topology, which will occur the weekend of April 15-17, 2016, at Eastern Illinois University. This conference is integrated in the sense that it draws participants at every stage of their mathematical careers, with particular focus on both early-career graduate students and undergraduates. A meeting of this type brings together researchers from the academically young to the well-established, yet offers a more narrow research focus than is typically found at undergraduate-inclusive conferences. This narrow focus serves to promote more meaningful contact in the context of mathematical research. The conference is intended to fuel young mathematicians' interest in research mathematics, promote inter- and intra-generational research ties, and demonstrate how undergraduates can be incorporated into research programs in these fields.Three established speakers and three early-career speakers are invited by the organizing committee; these speakers are chosen both for their eminence in their respective fields and their ability to provide meaningful introductions to complex topics for audiences with a wide range of mathematical backgrounds. Invitations for submissions by graduate students and undergraduate students will be issued in mid-February. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by subject-specific committees composed of faculty at Eastern Illinois University. Up to 6 graduate students and between 12 and 15 undergraduates will be invited to make presentations, either as talks or in poster sessions. In addition to the talks and poster sessions, the conference provides opportunities for less formal interaction, including social events on Friday and Saturday nights. Our increased focus on incorporating undergraduates into professional life includes panel discussions from funded graduate students and early-career mathematicians covering important but seldom-discussed aspects of attending graduate school and pursuing an academic career in mathematics.More information will be available at the conference website: https://ux1.eiu.edu/~gdt/2016.html
