Institute for Mathematics and its Applications

摘要奖：DMS-0439734首席研究员：道格拉斯·N·阿诺德、法迪尔·桑托萨、阿恩德·谢尔数学及其应用研究所(IMA)的使命是通过促进将最高水平的数学与其他学科、技术、行业和社会的重要科学和技术问题联系起来的跨学科研究，增加数学科学的影响。与这一使命相结合，IMA还致力于扩大和加强从事与这类问题相关的数学研究的人才库。为此，该研究所作为数学科学的信息中心，接待刚开始工作的博士研究人员，举办和赞助研究生讲习班，为处于职业生涯中期的数学科学家提供改变研究方向的机会，组织针对在数学科学中代表性较低群体的学生和研究人员的方案，并赞助公共宣传活动。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也在其学术参与机构举办会议和研究生暑期研讨会。这些学术机构和IMA的参与公司通过专门的治理委员会为研究所的规划和规划作出贡献。TIMA网站http://www.ima.umn.edu/介绍了即将和过去的计划，为未来的计划征求意见，并为研究所的活动提供申请表。

AbstractAward: DMS-0439734Principal Investigator: Douglas N. Arnold, Fadil Santosa, Arnd ScheelThe mission of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications(IMA) is to increase the impact of the mathematical sciences byfostering interdisciplinary research linking mathematics of thehighest caliber to important scientific and technologicalproblems from other disciplines, technology, industry, andsociety. Allied with this mission, the IMA also works to expandand strengthen the talent base engaged in mathematical researchrelevant to such problems. To this end, the Institute serves asan information hub in the mathematical sciences, hostspostdoctoral researchers at the start of their careers, conductsand sponsors graduate student workshops, offers opportunities formid-career mathematical scientists to change research directions,organizes programs aimed at students and researchers from groupstraditionally underrepresented in the mathematical sciences, andsponsors public outreach activities.The IMA is a national research institute that hosts scientificprograms on short (one week or less) and long (academic year) timescales, without permanent faculty or research staff. Most of theInstitute's programs are conducted in its Minneapolis facilities, butthe IMA also sponsors conferences and graduate summer workshops at itsacademic participating institutions. Those academic institutions andIMA's participating corporations contribute to the Institute'sprogramming and planning through dedicated governance committees. TheIMA web site at http://www.ima.umn.edu/ describes upcoming and pastprograms, solicits ideas for future programs, and offers applicationforms for Institute activities.
