Sixth Mississippi State - UAB Conference on Differential Equations and Computational Simulations; May 13-15, 2005; Mississippi State, MS

该奖项将支持举办一个多学科会议，题为“第六届密西西比州立大学--密西西比州大学关于微分方程和计算模拟的会议”，其使命是提供一个联合论坛，让学术界和工业界的数学家、科学家和工程师交流研究和教育思想。这次会议是密西西比州立大学数学和统计系和阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校机械工程系共同努力的成果。会议的联合赞助商是密西西比州立大学工程研究中心(ERC)、微分方程式电子期刊(EJDE)和数学及其应用研究所(IMA)。这次为期两天的会议将提供10个专家研究人员的特邀讲座和约70篇投稿论文。大部分资金将用于支付研究生和新博士的旅费。特别是，将特别努力鼓励来自代表性不足群体的学生和新近获得博士学位的学生参加。杰出的主要发言者的演讲以及大约150名跨学科研究人员的参与和互动将对这一领域的发展产生重大影响。会议的主要目标是以最佳方式完成上述任务，同时促进微分方程式和相关模拟的数学和计算分析方面的研究和教育。会议还将为研究生和年轻的博士提供一个展示他们的工作的机会，会见其他研究人员、教育工作者和实践者，了解拟议的跨学科领域的最新发展，并产生新一代数学模型和挑战。

This award will support to organize a multidisciplinary conference entitled "The Sixth Mississippi State - UAB Conference on Differential Equations and Computational Simulations" with a mission of providing a joint forum where mathematicians, scientists, and engineers from the academia and industry exchange research and education ideas. The conference is a collaborative endeavor between the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Mississippi State University and Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The co-sponsors of the conference are Engineering Research Center (ERC) at Mississippi State University, Electronic Journal of Differential Equations (EJDE), and Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). This two-day conference will offer ten invited lectures by expert researchers and around 70 contributed papers. The majority of the funds will be used to provide travel expenses to the graduate students and new Ph.D.s. In particular, special effort will be made to encourage the participation of students and recent Ph.D.s from the underrepresented groups. Lectures by the outstanding principal speakers and the participation and interaction of around 150 interdisciplinary researchers would significantly impact the development of this field. The primary objective of the conference is to optimally fulfill the aforestated mission, while at the same time to promote research and education in mathematical and computational analysis of differential equations and associated simulations. The conference will also provide graduate students and young Ph.D.s an opportunity to present their work, meet other researchers, educators and practitioners, learn of recent developments in the proposed interdisciplinary field, and produce a new generation of mathematical models and challenges.
