2019 Pacific Math Alliance Conference

该奖项将为2019年10月12日在加州海沃德举行的“2019太平洋数学联盟会议”提供资金。这次会议由位于东湾的加州州立大学数学系主办。首届会议将汇集数学家和学生在各个职业阶段，从有才华的本科生到国际知名的研究人员。此外，会议还将为社区学院、四年制学院和大学以及博士学位授予机构的教师提供一个场所，以增进对他们必须提供的协同作用的理解，以便为太平洋地区极其多样化的学生群体提供最好的服务。该奖项将为学生、早期职业教师、属于代表性不足群体的数学家以及其他没有其他联邦支持的参与者提供旅行支持。这次会议将提高人们对太平洋数学联盟使命的认识，并促进太平洋数学联盟的使命——增加进入数学科学博士课程的少数族裔学生的数量，并提高在攻读博士课程之前为他们提供的数学教育质量。会议将发展联网小组；为学生提供一个场所，让他们向热情和支持的观众展示他们的作品；为高级教师提供空间，以指导/培训代表数学科学所有群体的初级教师；提供一个场所，在增加多样性和机会方面有良好记录的教师可以为学生的成功合作；为学生举办职业小组讨论，为教师举办研讨会。为了阐明在数学科学中代表性不足的少数民族学生和教师所特有的问题和情况，会议还将讨论数学中的社会文化问题。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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，认为值得支持。

This award will provide funding for "The 2019 Pacific Math Alliance Conference" which will be held in Hayward, California on October 12, 2019. The conference is being hosted by the Department of Mathematics at the California State University, East Bay. This inaugural conference will bring together mathematicians and students at all career stages from the talented undergraduate to the internationally distinguished researcher. In addition, the meeting will serve as a venue for faculty from community colleges, four year colleges and universities, and PhD granting institutions to increase the understanding of the synergy they must provide in order to best serve the exceptionally diverse student populations in the Pacific region. This award will provide travel support for students, early-career faculty, and mathematicians belonging to under-represented groups, as well as other participants who have no other federal support.The proposed conference will create awareness about and promote the Pacific Math Alliance's mission -- to increase the number of under-represented minority students who enter PhD programs in the Mathematical Sciences, as well as to improve the quality of mathematical education provided to them prior to the PhD program. The conference will develop networking groups; provide students with a venue where they can present their work to a welcoming and supportive audience; provide space for senior faculty to mentor/train junior faculty in representation of all groups in the mathematical sciences; provide a venue in which faculty with a proven track record in increasing diversity and opportunity can collaborate for student success; and hold career panels for students and workshops for faculty. In order to elucidate matters and circumstances that are particular to under-represented minority students and faculty in the mathematical sciences, the conference will also feature talks addressing socio-cultural issues in mathematics.
