Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium

该奖项支持参加第六届年度中西部妇女数学研讨会（WIMS）将于2018年4月7日在普渡大学举行。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2018年将有120名与会者。研讨会将由杰出的高级女教师进行两个小时的全体演讲，并由有前途的女初级教师和博士后研究人员进行十五个三十分钟的邀请演讲。WIMS 2018学术会议的主题是分析，应用数学，几何和拓扑。研究生和最近的博士生有机会在开放问题会议上展示他们的工作和正在进行的工作。午餐时间的非正式讨论为年轻人提供了学术和工业研究工作的有用职业建议。会议工作将自然导致与会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://www.math.purdue.edu/calendar/conferences/mwims18/。 该奖项由NSF数学科学部内的基础设施，分析，应用数学，拓扑和概率计划共同资助。

This award supports participation in the Sixth Annual Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (WIMS) to be held on April 7, 2018 at Purdue University. 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, 120 participants are anticipated in 2018.The Symposium features two hour-long plenary lectures by distinguished senior female faculty members and fifteen thirty-minute invited lectures by promising female junior faculty and postdoctoral researchers. The topics of the academic sessions at WIMS 2018 are Analysis, Applied Math, Geometry, and Topology. Graduate students and recent Ph.D.s have the opportunity to present their work and work in progress at the open problem sessions. Informal lunch time discussion gives useful career advice for both academic and industrial research jobs to young people. The meeting work will naturally lead to follow-up visits among the participants at other Midwest institutions and new long-term collaborations. More details about the symposium can be found at http://www.math.purdue.edu/calendar/conferences/mwims18/. This award is jointly funded by the Infrastructure, Analysis, Applied Math, Topology, and Probability programs within the Division of Mathematical Sciences at NSF.
