Graduate Student Summer Workshop in Algebraic Geometry

2005年7月18日至22日，华盛顿大学将举办一个代数几何研究生暑期讲习班。预计大约有130名学生将参加这次讲习班，沿着的还有16名导师，他们将带领一小组学生学习代数几何的各个方面。 每天上午将有两个讲座介绍该领域的不同领域。 讲座的目标是传达每个领域的基本激励问题、用于解决这些问题的工具以及目前已知的重要结果。下午，参与者将分成小组，并与导师一起解决问题，这将使他们对该领域的方法有一个亲身的感受。下午的小组将松散地联系到上午的讲座，这将旨在尽可能多地提供代数几何的调查。 其目的是帮助培养该学科的下一代领导人。 将有来自许多大学的学生参加为期一周的密集活动，包括讲座，问题会议，以及他们之间和与导师的非正式讨论。这将加深他们的理解，扩大他们的视野。它还将使研究生有机会在一个更轻松的环境中与高级研究人员见面，并开始与他们的研究生同学--他们未来的同事--建立工作关系。 在这样的环境中自然产生的那种联系也是专业成长的重要组成部分。最后，但并非最不重要的是，研讨会将使研究生接触到这个大领域的其他部分的想法和问题，远离他们的特定研究领域，并为十年一次的AMS夏季研究所做好准备代数几何，该研究所紧随研讨会之后，也在华盛顿大学举行。

A Graduate Student Summer Workshop in Algebraic Geometry will be held at the University of Washington during July 18-22, 2005. It is anticipated that roughly 130 students will attend this workshop, along with 16 mentors who will lead small groups of students studying various aspects of algebraic geometry. Each morning there will be two lectures introducing different areas of the field. The goal of the lectures will be to communicate the fundamental motivating questions in each area, the tools used to address them, and the important results currently known. In the afternoon, the participants will break up into small groups, and work with a mentor on problems that will give them a hands-on feel for the methods of the field. The afternoon groups will be loosely tied to the morning lectures, which will aim to give a survey of algebraic geometry as much as possible. The intention is to help prepare the next generation of leaders in the subject. There will be students participating from many universities in an intensive week of activities, including lectures, problem sessions, and informal discussions among themselves and with mentors. This will deepen their understanding and widen their horizons. It will also give graduate students an opportunity to meet senior researchers in a more relaxed setting, and to begin to establish working relationships with their fellow graduate students -- their future colleagues. The sort of bonding which occurs naturally in such settings is also an important component of professional growth. Last, but not least, the Workshop will expose graduate students to ideas and problems from other parts of this large field, far from their particular research area, and prepare them for the once-in-a-decade AMS Summer Institute in Algebraic Geometry that immediately follows the Workshop, also being held at the University of Washington.
