Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium

该奖项支持参加第五届年度中西部妇女数学研讨会（WIMS）将于2017年4月8日在印第安纳州大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯举行。WIMS的目标是：（i）突出中西部地区女性数学家的学术贡献;（ii）促进中西部地区女性数学家之间的合作、网络和指导关系。WIMS已被建立为一个年度活动，在中西部的学院和大学之间旋转。研讨会汇集了来自整个中西部在其职业生涯的各个阶段的女性数学家。基于出席以前的WIMS，预计2017年将有150名与会者。研讨会的特点是由杰出的高级女教师进行两个小时的全体讲座，并由有前途的女初级教师和博士后研究人员进行10个30分钟的特邀讲座。WIMS 2017学术会议的主题是几何和拓扑，动力系统和数学生物学。研究生和最近的博士生有机会在研讨会海报会议上介绍他们的工作。讲座和海报会议是伴随着开放的问题会议，在此期间，WIMS参与者在小组讨论领域的具体问题。这样的工作自然会导致参与者在其他中西部机构和新的长期合作的后续访问。有关研讨会的更多详情，请访问http://math.iupui.edu/~buse/WIMS-17/。

This award supports participation in the Fifth Annual Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (WIMS) to be held on April 8, 2017 at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis. The aim of WIMS is: (i) to highlight the scholarly contributions of female mathematicians in the Midwest region, and (ii) to stimulate collaborations, networking, and mentoring relations among female mathematicians in the Midwest region. WIMS has been established as an annual event that rotates among colleges and universities in the Midwest. The Symposium brings together female mathematicians from across the Midwest at all stages of their careers. Based on attendance at previous WIMS, 150 participants are anticipated in 2017.The Symposium features two hour-long plenary lectures by distinguished senior female faculty members and ten thirty-minute invited lectures by promising female junior faculty and postdoctoral researchers. The topics of the academic sessions at WIMS 2017 are Geometry and Topology, Dynamical Systems, and Mathematical Biology. Graduate students and recent Ph.D.s have the opportunity to present their work at the Symposium Poster Session. The lectures and poster session are accompanied by open problem sessions, during which WIMS participants work in small groups to discuss field-specific problems. Such work will naturally lead to follow-up visits among the participants at other Midwest institutions and new long-term collaborations.
