Conference on Foundations of Computational Mathematics

该奖项支持美国研究人员参加2020年6月15日至24日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的三年一度的国际会议“计算数学基础(FOCM 2020)”。计算数学在科学和工程的所有分支中都越来越重要，计算能力的增加已经从根本上改变了数学和计算之间的关系。计算数学基金会(FOCM)是一个国际非营利性组织，支持和促进数学和计算之间的研究，并促进数学、计算机科学和其他计算科学领域的互动。FOCM 2020大会预计将吸引约500人参加，其中包括至少150名初级参与者(研究生、博士后研究员和初级教职员工)，其中可能有100人来自美国。这一奖项为一些美国参与者提供了部分资金，特别是那些本来可能无法参加的初级参与者。它将促进在美国进行的研究在国际上的曝光，并将以美国和国际参与者之间新的合作的形式产生持久的影响。会议包括三个为期三天的会议，每个会议有7个研讨会(总共21个)，结合每天的全体和半全体会议。除全体发言者外，每个研讨会还将有两名半全体发言者。研讨会涵盖了计算数学的广泛主题，与纯数学、计算机科学、数据科学、科学计算和其他相关领域有联系。有关更多信息，请参阅http://focm-society.org/2020/This奖项，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已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。

This award supports participation of US-based researchers in the triennial international conference "Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM 2020)" held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on June 15-24, 2020. Computational mathematics is increasingly important in all branches of science and engineering, and increasing computational power has radically changed the relationship between mathematics and computation. The Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM) Society is an international nonprofit organization that supports and promotes research at the interface of mathematics and computation and fosters interaction among mathematics, computer science, and other areas of computational science. The FoCM 2020 conference is expected to attract an estimated 500 participants, including at least 150 junior participants (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty), with perhaps 100 of these from the US. This award provides partial funding for some US participants, particularly junior participants who might otherwise not be able to attend. It will advance the international exposure of research conducted in the US and will have lasting effects in the form of new collaborations between US and international participants.The conference comprises three 3-day sessions of 7 workshops each (21 total), combined with plenary and semi-plenary talks each day. Besides the plenary speakers, each workshop will have two semi-plenary speakers. Workshops span a wide range of computational mathematics topics, with ties to pure mathematics, computer science, data science, scientific computing, and other related fields.
