Mathematical Sciences: Midwest Probability Colloquium

摘要本项目支持于1996年10月18日至19日在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿西北大学举行的第十八届中西部概率学术研讨会。该学术讨论会每年在西北大学举行，来自五大湖地区以及美国和加拿大其他地区的75-100名概率论专家参加。1996年的项目由西班牙巴塞罗那大学的戴维·努拉特担任主讲人，罗切斯特大学的迈克尔·克兰斯顿和印第安纳大学的乌韦·埃因马勒也应邀担任主讲人。超过一半的NSF支持是针对年轻研究人员的津贴，特别是那些传统上代表性不足的群体，如女性和少数民族。在数理统计研究所、美国数学学会的出版物和适当的网站上刊登了获奖的广告。

9632632 Pinsky Abstract This project supports the eighteenth annual Midwest Probability Colloquium, held at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois on October 18-19, 1996. The Colloquium is an annual gathering, at Northwestern, of 75-100 experts in probability theory from the Great Lakes region and other parts of the U.S. and Canada. The 1996 program features David Nualart of the University of Barcelona, Spain, as the main speaker, with Michael Cranston of the University of Rochester and Uwe Einmahl of Indiana University as other invited speakers. More than half of the NSF support is targeted toward stipends for young researchers, especially those traditionally underrepresented groups such as women and minorities. Availability of awards is advertised in publications of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the American Mathematical Society and appropriate web sites.
