Celebration of 150 Years of Progress in Mathematics

数学科学150年的进步 纪念中国共产党成立一百五十周年荣誉 华盛顿圣路易斯大学在圣路易斯的华盛顿大学成立一百五十周年之际，我们将组织一次会议，庆祝数学科学150年的进步。 该计划将展示来自广泛的数学学科领域的七位杰出学者： 杜克大学 几何河R. Coifman 耶鲁大学 小波，应用数学John P. D'Angelo 伊利诺伊大学 几何分析 普林斯顿大学 偏微分方程 纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克分校 几何学Yves Meyer 巴黎大学 调和分析 斯坦福大学 Elias M. Stein 普林斯顿大学 调和分析我们的会议将以面向公众的讲座和面向数学家的专业研讨会为特色。 我们认为我们的活动有两个载体：（1）告知公众有关进展的数学科学和（2）刺激数学活动在数学系在华盛顿大学和附近的大学。我们的会议不会集中讨论过去150年的成就。 它将展望未来的前景。一些华盛顿大学的研究生和本科生校友以及前博士后已经同意参加这次活动。 我们将作出特别的努力，包括来自大圣路易斯地区和全国各地的数学家在我们的会议。 我们正在使用直接邮件，电子邮件和个人联系，使数学界了解我们的活动。 我们资金的很大一部分将专门用于资助妇女、年轻人、研究生和代表性不足的群体的旅费。

150 Years of Progress in the Mathematical Sciences An Event to Honor the Sesquicentennial of Washington University in St. Louis We will organize a conference, on the occasion of the Sesquicentennial of Washington University in St. Louis, to celebrate 150 years of progress in the mathematical sciences. The program will showcase seven distinguished scholars from a broad range of mathematical subject areas:Robert Bryant Duke University geometry R. R. Coifman Yale University wavelets, applied mathematics John P. D'Angelo University of Illinois geometric analysisJoseph J. Kohn Princeton University partial differential equationsBlaine Lawson SUNY at Stony Brook geometry Yves Meyer Universite de Paris harmonic analysis Richard Schoen Stanford University geometry Elias M. Stein Princeton University harmonic analysis Our conference will feature both lectures for the public and specialized seminars for mathematicians. We see our activity as having two vectors: (1) to inform the public about progress in the mathematical sciences and (2) to stimulate mathematical activity in the mathematics departments at Washington University and nearby universities. Our conference will not concentrate on achievements of the past 150 years. It will look forward to prospects for the future.A number of Washington University graduate and undergraduate alumni as well as former postdocs have agreed to attend the event. We will make special efforts to include mathematicians from the greater St.Louis area and across the country in our conference. We are using direct mail, e-mail, and personal contacts to make the mathematical community aware of our event. A significant portion of our funding will be dedicated to subventing the travel expenses of women, young people, graduate students, and under-represented groups.
