Mathematical Congress of the Americas, Montreal, Canada, July 24-28, 2017: Administration of Travel Grants for US Participants

为了支持美国参加2017年7月24日至28日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的美洲国际数学大会，美国数学学会正在为美国的数学科学家管理一项旅行资助计划。 MCA于2013年启动，是由美洲数学理事会管理的四年一次的聚会，美洲数学理事会是一个由二十多个协会（包括AMS），研究所和机构组成的网络，遍布北美，南美和拉丁美洲以及加勒比国家。 与第一届大会一样，第二届大会吸引了来自西半球和世界其他地区的数学家，并为在广泛的数学领域的国际舞台上交流思想提供了绝佳的机会。 早期的数学家，即，那些在过去六年内完成博士学位的人，特别鼓励申请，并将获得审查申请的委员会的优先考虑。 强烈鼓励来自数学代表性不足的团体的个人申请。完整的信息和申请表在http://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca。2017年MCA旅行补助金计划的总体目标是通过鼓励和支持美国数学家与美洲和世界其他地区的数学家的互动，促进美国在世界舞台上数学研究的领导地位。 通过参与，数学家将了解西半球的最新发展和当前工作，并为日益全球奋进的数学研究做出贡献。 这项旅行资助计划的重点是支持早期职业数学家，是对美国在这一竞技场未来继续领导地位的投资。 预计约有1,500名与会者来自西半球和世界其他地区，组织者包括五个全体会议和二十个半全体会议发言人，主要来自美洲，在节目中。 该计划还包括72个特别会议，专门讨论代数结构，复变量，群论，模型论，组合学，符号动力学，密码学，有限域，算子理论，应用凝聚态，概率论，计算科学，优化与控制，算术几何，调和分析，天体力学，规范理论，非线性偏微分方程，分形几何，上同调、流体动力学、逆问题和数论。 MCA也是颁发MCA奖，美洲奖和所罗门莱夫谢茨奖章的场合，所有奖项都是为了表彰获奖者的研究或专业活动的独特成就和广泛影响。 所有特别会议的完整清单见MCA网站https://mca2017.org/。

To support US participation in the international Mathematical Congress of the Americas, which runs July 24-28, 2017 in Montreal, Canada, the American Mathematical Society is administering a travel grant program for US-based mathematical scientists. Initiated in 2013, the MCA is a quadrennial gathering administered by the Mathematical Council of the Americas, a network of over twenty societies (including the AMS), institutes, and agencies throughout North, South, and Latin America as well as the Caribbean nations. Like the first, this second congress draws mathematicians from around the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world and presents an excellent opportunity for exchange of ideas on an international stage in a broad array of mathematical areas. Early career mathematicians, i.e., those having completed a PhD within the last six years, are especially encouraged to apply and will receive priority consideration from the committee reviewing applications. Individuals from groups that are underrepresented in mathematics are strongly encouraged to apply. Full information and the application form are at http://www.ams.org/programs/travel-grants/mca. The general goal of the 2017 MCA travel grant program is to promote the nation's leadership in mathematical research on the world stage by encouraging and supporting the interactions of mathematicians based in the US with their counterparts throughout the Americas and the rest of the world. By participating, mathematicians will learn of the latest developments and current work around the Western Hemisphere and also contribute to the increasingly-global endeavor of mathematical research. With a focus on supporting early-career mathematicians, this travel grant program is an investment in the future of the US's continuing leadership in this arena. Anticipating approximately 1,500 attendees from around the Western Hemisphere and the rest of the world, the organizers have included five plenary and twenty semi-plenary speakers, mostly from the Americas, on the program. The program also includes seventy-two special sessions devoted to such topics as algebraic structures, complex variables, group theory, model theory, combinatorics, symbolic dynamics, cryptography, finite fields, operator theory, applications to condensed matter, probability theory, computational science, optimization and control, arithmetic geometry, harmonic analysis, celestial mechanics, gauge theory, nonlinear partial differential equations, fractal geometry, cohomology, fluid dynamics, inverse problems, and number theory. The MCA is also the occasion for presenting the MCA Prize, the Americas Prize, and the Solomon Lefschetz Medals, all awards that recognize the distinctive achievement and broad impact of the recipients' research or professional activities. A complete list of all special sessions is on the MCA web site, https://mca2017.org/.
