Midwest Numerical Analysis Conference

中西部数值分析会议拟于2005年5月在爱荷华大学举行，为期三天。这次会议将汇集所有职业阶段的研究人员和研究生，主要来自中西部地区，他们从事或对数值分析和应用感兴趣。会议的目的是：(1)提供一个论坛，交流与数值分析、计算机模拟及其在工程和科学中的应用的研究和教学有关的新思想和新成果；(2)为地区学院的数值分析员提供继续参与研究活动的机会；(3)向研究生和最近获得博士学位的人展示令人兴奋的研究主题；(4)鼓励妇女、少数族裔和残疾人参与研究领域。拟议的中西部数值分析会议将极大地促进我国中西部地区，特别是许多地区性学院和教学大学在数值分析、计算机模拟及其跨学科应用方面的研究和教学。会议将作为一个论坛，交流、了解和促进在数值分析、计算机模拟和跨学科应用领域的研究和教学方面的新想法、新成果和新技术。将作出特别努力，确保学生、初级研究人员、大学教职员工，特别是妇女、少数群体和残疾人更广泛地参与研究和教学活动。这次会议将有助于扩大全国下一代数值分析员和计算科学家的人员基础。

A three day meeting, Midwest Numerical Analysis Conference, is proposed to be held in May 2005 at the University of Iowa. This meeting will bring together researchers of all career stages and graduate students, mainly from the Midwestern area, who work or are interested in numerical analysis and applications. The purposes of the meeting are: (1) to provide a forum to exchange new ideas and results related to research and teaching on numerical analysis, computer simulation, and their applications in engineering and sciences; (2) to provide an opportunity for numerical analysts in regional colleges to remain involved in research activities; (3) to expose exciting research topics to graduate students and recent doctoral recipients; (4) to encourage women, minorities and persons with disabilities to participate in the research areas.The proposed Midwest Numerical Analysis Conference will greatly contribute to the advancement of research and teaching on numerical analysis, computer simulation and their interdisciplinary applications in the Midwestern region of the nation, especially in many of the regional colleges and teaching universities. The conference will serve as a forum to exchange, understand and promote new ideas, results and techniques on research and teaching in the areas of numerical analysis, computer simulation and interdisciplinary applications. Special efforts will be made to ensure a broadened participation in the research and teaching activities from students, junior researchers, college faculty, especially women, minorities and persons with disabilities. The conference will help to enlarge the personnel base of the nation for next generation numerical analysts and computational scientists.
