Texas Geometry and Topology Conference

DMS-0072372乔恩曹怀东该奖项为研究生，博士后研究人员，初级教师和代表性不足的群体的人参加半年一次的德克萨斯州几何和拓扑会议提供部分支持。 会议的目的是提高在得克萨斯州和周边国家的geometers和topologists社区的研究和教育氛围。 会议有三个具体目标。 首先，会议致力于将国家和国际地位的研究人员带到该地区，讨论他们的研究，并与来自该地理区域的数学家进行互动。 其次，这次会议使来自德克萨斯州和周边各州（一个巨大的地理区域）的几何学家和拓扑学家社区能够定期聚会并分享数学知识，这既刺激了个人研究，又促进了学校之间富有成效的合作努力。 第三，会议致力于加强和丰富数学人才基础。三年内将举行六次会议，由得克萨斯州的主要大学主办：2000-2001年：莱斯大学（秋季）、得克萨斯基督教大学（春季）2001-2002年：得克萨斯大学（秋季）、得克萨斯理工大学（春季）2002-2003年：得克萨斯&农工大学（秋季）、休斯顿大学（春季）此外，两所大学（得克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校、得克萨斯大学达拉斯分校）将在得克萨斯基督教大学协助会议，得克萨斯几何与拓扑会议自1989年创办以来，每年春季和秋季举行，迄今共举办23届。 参加会议的数学家名单包括世界上许多最有影响力的几何学家和拓扑学家。 每次会议都专门定制其计划，以反映几何和拓扑学重要领域的最新发展。有关即将举行的会议以及会议的使命和历史的信息始终可以在http://www.math.tamu.edu/research/workshops/TGTC/index.html上获得。

DMS-0072372Jon PittsHuai-Dong CaoThis award provides partial support for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, junior faculty, and persons from under-represented groups to attend the semi-annual Texas Geometry and Topology Conference. The conference is designed to enhance the research and educational atmosphere of the community of geometers and topologists in Texas and the surrounding states. The conference has three specific goals. First the conference is committed to bring researchers of national and international stature to the area to discuss their research and to interact with mathematicians from this geographic region. Second the conference makes it possible for the community of geometers and topologists from Texas and surrounding states (a huge geographic region) to meet and share mathematics on a regularbasis, which both stimulates individual research and generates productive cooperative efforts between schools. Third the conference is committed to the strengthening and enrichment of the mathematics personnel base. There will be six conferences over three years, hosted by major universities in Texas: 2000-2001: Rice University (fall), Texas Christian University (spring)2001-2002: University of Texas (fall), Texas Tech University (spring)2002-2003: Texas A&M University (fall), University of Houston (spring)In addition, two universities (University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas at Dallas) will assist in the conference at Texas Christian University.The Texas Geometry and Topology Conference has been held spring and fall since its founding in 1989, a total of 23 times to date. The roster of mathematicians who have participated in the conference includes many of the most influential geometers and topologists in the world. Each conference specifically tailors its program to reflect recent developments in important areas of geometry and topology. Information about upcoming conferences as well as the mission and history of the conference is always available at http://www.math.tamu.edu/research/workshops/TGTC/index.html.
