US - Colombian Mathematics Conference; Bogota, Colombia; July 27 - August 1, 1987

该奖项将支持7位美国数学家参加由哥伦比亚数学协会（SCM）主办的会议，该会议将于1987年7月下旬在波哥大的哥伦比亚国立大学举行。会议的两个目的是：(1)确定美国和哥伦比亚参与者之间在微分方程方面合作研究的主题和优先事项，以及(2)讨论大学拟议的数学博士课程的课程。蒙大拿大学的William R. Derrick博士和其他几位美国数学家与SCM主席Jaime C. Lesmes博士和其他几位哥伦比亚人一起参加了会议的组织工作。德里克博士和美国参与者与拉丁美洲数学家有着成功的研究合作历史。会议将包括三个部分：(1)全体会议，讨论哥伦比亚数学研究生研究的现状和未来课程；(2)数学研究主题的邀请演讲；(3)数学分析研究研讨会。这次会议使美国数学家能够提出研究问题并与国内外同行进行接触，并为哥伦比亚人在发展其第一个数学博士项目方面提供专家建议。本次会议的研究论文将发表在SCM出版的国际期刊《Boletin de Matematicas》上。

This award will support the participation of seven U.S. mathematicians in a conference sponsored by the Colombian Mathematics Society (SCM) to be held in late July, 1987 at the National University of Colombia, Bogota. The two purposes of the conference will be to (1) identify topics and priorities for cooperative research in differential equations between the U.S. and Colombian participants, and (2) discuss the curriculum for the proposed doctoral program in mathematics at the University. Dr. William R. Derrick, University of Montana, and several other United States mathematicians participated in the organization of the conference with Dr. Jaime C. Lesmes, President of SCM and several other Colombians. Dr. Derrick and the United States participants have a successful history of research collaboration with Latin American mathematicians. The conference will consist of three parts: (1) a plenary session to discuss the current state and future course of graduate studies in mathematics in Colombia, (2) invited addresses on topics of mathematical research, and (3) research workshops on mathematical analysis. The conference enables the United States mathematicians to develop research questions and contacts with domestic and foreign colleagues, and it provides the Colombians with expert advice in developing their first doctoral program in mathematics. The research papers from the conference will be published in the "Boletin de Matematicas", an international journal published by the SCM.
