U.S.-Chile Third Pan American Workshop in Computational and Applied Mathematics; Santiago, Chile, January 1999

9802681 castillo美洲项目奖将部分支持将于1999年1月在智利圣地亚哥举行的拉丁美洲计算和应用数学研讨会。组织者是圣地亚哥州立大学的Jose Castillo博士，并与由加拿大、墨西哥、秘鲁、巴西和委内瑞拉代表组成的泛美组织委员会合作。智利大学的Jose Conca博士将担任当地组委会主席。研讨会的目的是汇集美洲的应用和计算数学家，交流信息，促进参与国之间的合作，促进应用数学的发展。它将强调计算流体动力学、数值优化、高性能计算、计算机代数、网格生成和动力系统等领域。资助对象包括初级研究人员、博士后和研究生。由于美洲对应用数学和计算数学的兴趣日益增加，并且越来越多地使用数学和计算机建模来解决工业和社会问题，如石油开采、森林砍伐的影响和污染控制，讲习班将侧重于在美洲具有重大经济和环境重要性的应用。* * *

9802681CastilloThis Americas Program award will give partial support for a Latin American workshop on computational and applied mathematics, to be held in Santiago, Chile, in January, 1999. Organizers are Dr. Jose Castillo, San Diego State University, in collaboration with a Panamerican organizing committee composed of representatives from Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and Venezuela. Dr. Jose Conca, Universidad de Chile, will chair the local organizing committee. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together practicing applied and computational mathematicians in the Americas to exchange information, foster cooperation between the participating countries, and promote the development of applied mathematics. It will emphasize areas of computation fluid dynamics, numerical optimization, high-performance computing, computer algebra, grid generation, and dynamical systems. Participants supported by this grant include junior researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. Because of the increasing interest in applied and computational mathematics in the Americas, and a growth in the use of mathematical and computer modeling to address industrial and societal problems such as oil recovery, the effects of deforestation, and pollution control, the workshop will focus on applications of significant economic and environmental importance in the Americas. ***
