Tenth Conference on Probability and Statistics: Promoting Learning and Research in the Mathematical Sciences in Peru

该奖金用于资助将于2007年3月在秘鲁利马举行的第十届拉丁美洲概率与统计大会与会者的旅费和费用。会议的主要目标是：。为拉丁美洲概率和统计学的发展做出贡献。促进来自美国和欧洲的科学家与他们在拉丁美洲的同事之间的互动。为那些很少有机会参加本地区以外会议的有才华的科学家提供宝贵的经验。8名杰出的美国研究人员将作为特邀演讲人参加会议。该奖项还将为14名年轻研究人员提供旅行支持；8名来自美国，6名来自拉丁美洲。秘鲁提出主办今年的会议，作为鼓励其年轻科学家提高数学科学的研究活动和教育水平的一种手段。美国国家科学基金会自1990年以来一直支持这一系列会议，当时大会在墨西哥举行。

This award supports travel and expenses for participants in the tenth Latin American Congress on Probability and Statistics, to be held in Lima, Peru in March 2007. The main objectives of the conference are:. To contribute to the development of probability and statistics in Latin America.. To facilitate the interaction between scientists from the U.S. and Europe and their colleagues in Latin America.. To provide a valuable experience for talented scientists who have few opportunities to attend conferences outside their region.Eight distinguished U.S. based researchers will participate in the conference as invited speakers. The award will also provide travel support fourteen young researchers; eight from the U.S. and six from Latin America. Peru has offered to host this year's conference as a means of encouraging its young researchers to increase the level of research activity and education in the mathematical sciences. The National Science Foundation has supported this conference series since 1990, when the congress was held in Mexico.
