Institute for Mathematics and its Applications

摘要奖：DMS-9810289主要研究员：小威拉德·米勒。数学及其应用研究所(IMA)位于明尼苏达大学双子城分校，由小威拉德·米勒博士领导。IMA的使命是确定与其他科学和工业面临的挑战有关的数学科学研究问题和领域，展示数学和统计学对其他学科的影响，并鼓励数学科学家参与这些应用领域。IMA活动的参与者包括长期和短期参观者，他们来自数学科学和与当前计划相关的其他学科。该奖项包括对博士后研究员的支持，他们的指导是IMA工作的一个基本要素。该研究所的一些博士后研究人员花了大量时间与IMA的参与企业合作，工业研究人员参与IMA项目和项目规划。IMA主持短期(周末至一周)和长(学年)时间尺度的科学项目。该研究所的大部分项目都是在明尼阿波利斯的设施中进行的，但IMA也赞助学术参与机构的会议和研究生暑期项目。该研究所拥有非常设教员或研究人员，从许多学科吸引项目组织者，并将年度项目的参与者名单固定在杰出的访问者和一到两年的博士后研究人员的基础上。数学及其应用研究所是由美国国家科学基金会资助的一个数学科学研究所，由数学科学部资助。

AbstractAward: DMS-9810289Principal Investigator: Willard Miller, Jr.The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) islocated at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and isdirected by Dr. Willard Miller, Jr. The mission of the IMA is toidentify problems and areas of mathematical sciences researchrelated to challenges faced by other sciences and industry, todemonstrate the impact of mathematics and statistics on otherdisciplines, and to encourage the engagement of mathematicalscientists with these areas of application. Participants in IMAactivities include long- and short-term visitors, drawn from themathematical sciences and other disciplines relevant to currentprograms. This award includes support for postdoctoral fellows,whose mentoring is an essential element of the IMA's work. Someof the Institute's postdoctoral researchers spend much of theirtime working with participating corporations of the IMA, andindustrial researchers are involved in IMA programs and programplanning.The IMA hosts scientific programs on short (weekend to one-week)and long (academic year) time scales. Most of the Institute'sprograms are conducted in its Minneapolis facilities, but the IMAalso sponsors conferences and graduate student summer programs atits academic participating institutions. This institute has nopermanent faculty or research personnel, draws program organizersfrom many disciplines, and anchors the participant lists forannual programs in a base of distinguished visitors and one- ortwo-year postdoctoral researchers. The Institute for Mathematicsand its Applications is supported by the NSF as a MathematicalSciences Research Institute, funded by the Division ofMathematical Sciences.
