This award supports participation in the Triangle Lectures in Combinatorics (TLC), a series of once-a-semester, one-day conferences held in and around the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, the next of which will take place at North Carolina State University on March 24, 2018. Since the Spring of 2010, each meeting of the TLC has brought four outstanding mathematicians from around the country to give talks about some of the most exciting and significant recent developments in combinatorics. A great number of graduate students, postdocs, and tenure-track/tenured researchers in combinatorics and related fields work within a five-hour drive of the Research Triangle, but the large distances between colleges and universities can be isolating. The TLC conference format gives a practical reason for these researchers to come together and interact with each other. Past meetings of the TLC have attracted groups of attendees from North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond.Combinatorics is an important and growing area of mathematics that focuses on the structure of discrete (as opposed to continuous) sets of objects. It is critical to many areas of mathematics and plays a key role in computational, scientific, and engineering applications. The Triangle Lectures in Combinatorics serve to: enhance the national infrastructure for research and education by creating and strengthening a regional network of interacting researchers; facilitate the dissemination of cutting-edge research ideas, methods, and results among researchers in the Southeastern United States; promote the teaching and training of graduate students by exposing them to the perspectives of leading researchers; increase awareness and understanding of combinatorics among faculty and students in the Southeast; support the development of young faculty at various institutions to help them build local support and research networks; broaden participation of underrepresented groups, particularly women; and foster research interactions among participants, leading to new research results.

该奖项支持在组合学三角讲座（TLC），一系列的一次一学期，为期一天的会议在和周围的研究三角区域北卡罗来纳州，其中下一个将于2018年3月24日在北卡罗来纳州州立大学举行的参与。自2010年春季以来，TLC的每一次会议都带来了来自全国各地的四位杰出数学家，讲述组合数学中一些最令人兴奋和最重要的最新发展。大量的研究生，博士后和终身制研究人员在组合学和相关领域的工作在五个小时的车程内的研究三角，但学院和大学之间的距离很大，可以隔离。TLC会议形式为这些研究人员走到一起并相互交流提供了一个实际的理由。TLC过去的会议吸引了来自北卡罗来纳州、弗吉尼亚州、田纳西州、肯塔基州、南卡罗来纳州、格鲁吉亚和其他地区的与会者。组合数学是一个重要的和不断发展的数学领域，专注于离散（与连续相对）对象集的结构。它对数学的许多领域至关重要，在计算、科学和工程应用中起着关键作用。三角讲座组合学服务于：通过创建和加强互动研究人员的区域网络，加强研究和教育的国家基础设施;促进尖端研究思想，方法和研究人员在美国东南部的结果传播;通过让他们接触领先的研究人员的观点，促进研究生的教学和培训;提高东南部教师和学生对组合学的认识和理解;支持各机构青年教师的发展，帮助他们建立当地的支持和研究网络;扩大代表性不足的群体，特别是妇女的参与;促进参与者之间的研究互动，从而产生新的研究成果。更多信息请访问：https://web.math.ncsu.edu/tlc/
