Eastern Illinois Integrated Conference in Geometry, Dynamics, and Topology 2017-2019

这项为期三年的奖项支持东伊利诺伊州几何、动力学和拓扑学综合会议。为期三天的会议将于每年4月在东伊利诺伊大学举行，2017年的活动定于4月7日至9日的周末举行。这一特定学科的会议旨在吸引数学职业生涯每个阶段的参与者，特别是职业生涯早期的研究生和本科生。这种类型的会议汇集了从学术上年轻的到成熟的研究人员，但提供的研究重点比通常的本科生会议更狭隘。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。这次会议旨在激发年轻数学家对研究数学的兴趣，促进代际和代内的研究联系，并展示如何将本科生纳入这些领域的研究项目。组委会邀请了三位知名演讲者和三位职业生涯早期演讲者；这些演讲者的入选既是因为他们在各自领域的卓越地位，也是因为他们有能力为具有广泛数学背景的观众提供对复杂主题的有意义的介绍。研究生和本科生提交报告的邀请函将每年发出。提交的摘要将由东伊利诺伊大学教师组成的特定主题委员会审查。最多6名研究生和15名本科生将被邀请以演讲或海报形式进行演讲。除了讲座和海报会议，会议还提供了不那么正式的互动机会，包括周五和周六晚上的社交活动。我们更多地关注本科生融入职业生活，将包括资助研究生和职业生涯早期数学家的小组讨论，讨论上研究生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/。

This three-year award supports the Eastern Illinois Integrated Conference in Geometry, Dynamics, and Topology. The three-day conference will be held annually in April at Eastern Illinois University, with the 2017 event scheduled for the weekend of April 7 through 9. This discipline-specific conference is intended to draw 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 annually. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by subject-specific committees composed of faculty at Eastern Illinois University. Up to 6 graduate students 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 will include 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 is available at the conference website:https://ux1.eiu.edu/~gdt/
