Applied Mathematics: The Next 50 Years

该奖项将为研讨会和会议提供支持“应用数学：未来50年”，将于2019年6月17日至21日在西雅图的华盛顿大学举行。该活动是关于应用数学未来的前瞻性研讨会和会议，这些新领域将影响其未来并改变该学科的面貌，以及如何进行应用数学研究。它由两部分组成。第一部分，6月17日至18日，是关于数据科学和优化的研讨会。讲习班的听众包括初级研究人员（研究生、博士后研究员）和有兴趣扩大现有方法工具箱的高级研究人员。第二部分，2019年6月19日至21日遵循更传统的会议形式，强调数据科学在应用数学中的应用以及随机（而不是确定性）建模的使用：每半天将开始以全体演讲开始，然后是关于特定主题的并行小型研讨会。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主题：（1）我们如何增加代表性不足的少数民族和女性在该领域的参与，（2）教学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。这四次小组讨论的结果将广为传播。有关该活动的信息可以在以下网站找到：https://depts.washington.edu/amath/amath50/index.shtmlApplied数学是一个不断发展的领域，包括使用基于深刻数学的方法来应用于各种领域。传统上，该领域一直占主导地位的使用模型的基础上确定性的常微分方程或偏微分方程。两项重大进展正在改变这种做法。第一个是大数据和不同数学工具的出现，这些工具允许推导模型，而不是基于物理原理，而是从观察中推导出来。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。该研讨会是为初级研究人员提供的培训计划，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。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
