Twenty-eighth Midwest Probability Colloquium

该协会将于2006年10月20-21日在西北大学举办第28届中西部概率学术讨论会。概率论一直与相关领域的研究很好地结合在一起。这些课程包括统计物理、计算机科学、数理经济学、金融理论和理论统计学。第28届中西部概率学术讨论会将延续学术讨论会保持广泛问题领域的传统，并提供一个在广泛的应用领域以及数学核心领域交流知识兴趣的论坛。这次座谈会还将作为来自大中西部地区的概率学家的定期聚会，并为初级研究人员和代表性不足群体的成员提供机会，与该领域的专家进行科学互动。

The PI will organize the 28th Midwest Probability Colloquium, to be held at Northwestern University on October 20-21, 2006. Probability theory has always interfaced well with studies in related areas. These include statistical physics, computer science, mathematical economics, finance theory and theoretical statistics. The 28th Midwest Probability Colloquium will continue the Colloquia's tradition of maintaining a broad scope of problem areas and provide a forum for exchange of intellectual interest across a wide array of applied fields, as well as to core areas of mathematics. This colloquium will also serve as a regular get-together of probabilists from the greater Midwest area, and provide an opportunity for junior researchers and members of underrepresented groups to interact scientifically with specialists in the field.
