This award will provide support for the workshop and conference "Applied Mathematics: the next 50 years'', to be held at the University of Washington, Seattle, June 17-21, 2019. The event is a forward-looking workshop and conference on the future of applied mathematics, the new areas that will impact its future and alter the face of how the discipline is viewed and taught, and how research in applied mathematics is conducted. It consists of two parts. The first part, June 17-18, is devoted to a workshop on data science and optimization. The audience of the workshop consists of junior researchers (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows) and senior researchers who are interested in expanding their toolbox of existing methods. The second part, June 19-21, 2019 follows a more traditional conference format emphasizing the use of data science in applied mathematics as well as the use of stochastic (as opposed to deterministic) modeling: each half day will begin with a plenary lecture, followed by parallel mini-symposia on specific topics. In addition, the conference will host four panel discussions on topics of broad importance to the field: (1) how can we increase the participation of underrepresented minorities and females in the field, (2) new approaches to teaching all aspects of applied mathematics, (3) the importance of applied mathematics in industry and government, and (4) future directions for the field of applied mathematics. The outcomes of these four panel discussions will be widely disseminated. Information about the event can be found at: https://depts.washington.edu/amath/amath50/index.shtmlApplied Mathematics is an ever-evolving field, consisting of the use of methods based in profound mathematics to applications in a large variety of fields. Traditionally, the field has been dominated by the use of models based on deterministic ordinary or partial differential equations. Two major advances are changing this approach. The first one is the advent of big data and the different mathematical tools that allow for the deduction of models not based on physical principles but deduced from observations. The second is the recognition of the role played by uncertainty and the impact it has on mathematical modeling, leading to the need for stochastic analysis tools. Our forward-looking meeting combines a workshop and a conference. The workshop is a training program for junior researchers to introduce them to the field of data analysis from the applied mathematics perspective, with an emphasis on data-based modeling and optimization. The conference focuses on more diverse themes, but with a strong emphasis on data science and stochastic modeling.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将为将于2019年6月17日至21日在西雅图华盛顿大学举行的题为《应用数学：未来50年》的研讨会和会议提供支持。这次活动是一次前瞻性的研讨会和会议，主题是应用数学的未来，将影响其未来的新领域，并改变该学科被看待和教授的方式，以及应用数学的研究如何进行。它由两部分组成。第一部分，6月17日至18日，专门举办关于数据科学和优化的研讨会。讲习班的受众包括初级研究人员(研究生、博士后研究员)和对扩展现有方法工具箱感兴趣的高级研究人员。第二部分，2019年6月19日至21日，遵循更传统的会议形式，强调在应用数学中使用数据科学以及使用随机(而不是确定性)建模：每半天将以全体讲座开始，随后是关于特定主题的平行小型研讨会。此外，会议还将举办四个小组讨论会，讨论对该领域具有广泛重要性的问题：(1)我们如何增加该领域中代表性不足的少数群体和女性的参与；(2)教授应用数学各个方面的新方法；(3)应用数学在工业和政府中的重要性；以及(4)应用数学领域的未来方向。这四个小组讨论的结果将广泛传播。有关这次活动的信息可以在：https://depts.washington.edu/amath/amath50/index.shtmlApplied数学是一个不断发展的领域，包括使用基于深奥数学的方法在许多领域的应用。传统上，该领域一直被基于确定性常方程或偏微分方程的模型的使用所主导。两大进步正在改变这一方法。第一个是大数据和不同数学工具的出现，这些工具允许不基于物理原理而是根据观测推断模型。第二是认识到不确定性所起的作用及其对数学建模的影响，从而需要随机分析工具。我们的前瞻性会议结合了研讨会和会议。该讲习班是为初级研究人员提供的培训方案，旨在从应用数学的角度向他们介绍数据分析领域，重点是基于数据的建模和优化。这次会议关注更多不同的主题，但重点放在数据科学和随机建模上。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
