Conferences on Frontiers of Applied and Computational Mathematics, 2008-2010

研究人员在新泽西州纽瓦克的新泽西理工学院（NJIT）的校园里组织了一次应用与计算数学前沿（FACM）的年度会议。这些会议包括本科生和研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师的大量参与。FACM系列会议在过去四年中由新泽西理工大学数学科学系和应用数学与统计中心组织，部分资金由新泽西理工大学战略倡议计划提供。该会议已成为传播应用数学和计算数学以及应用统计学研究的主要论坛。FACM '08是一个大型（250-300人）的应用数学大会，主要涉及数学生物学、流体动力学、波传播、应用概率与统计等领域。FACM ‘09和’10分别是较小的（125-150人）会议，重点是数学生物学和流体动力学，这是该部门的重点领域。这个系列会议汇集了数学家、统计学家、物理学家、工程师和生物学家，分享他们在应用数学和计算数学以及应用统计学方面的研究成果。更广泛的影响是，不同学科的研究人员利用应用数学、统计学和数值计算的方法在会议期间和之后发生了显著的交叉受精。对于学生和博士后来说，这是一个重要的学习经历，有助于他们未来的陈述和研究。对于这些学生中的许多人来说，这样的本地研究会议是他们第一次接触到其他研究机构正在进行的高质量研究。这种接触有助于学生努力模仿这些研究活动的质量。过去的农委会会议有妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参加的良好记录，并作出特别努力继续这一趋势。

AhluwaliaDMS-0753092 The investigators organize an annual conference on Frontiersin Applied and Computational Mathematics (FACM) on the campus ofthe New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark, NewJersey. The conferences include the significant participation ofundergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, andjunior faculty. The FACM conference series has been organizedover the past four years by the Department of MathematicalSciences and the Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics atNJIT and is partially funded through an NJIT Strategic InitiativePlan. The conference has become a leading forum for thedissemination of research in applied and computationalmathematics and applied statistics. The three year conferenceplan for 2008-2010 is as follows: FACM '08 is a large (250-300participants) general meeting in applied mathematics, involvingin particular mathematical biology, fluid dynamics, wavepropagation, and applied probability and statistics. FACM '09and '10 are smaller (125-150 participants) focused meetings onmathematical biology and fluid dynamics, respectively, which areareas of focus in the Department. This conference series brings together mathematicians,statisticians, physicists, engineers, and biologists to shareresults of their research in applied and computationalmathematics and applied statistics. The broader impacts are thatsignificant cross-fertilization takes place during and after theconferences between researchers in different disciplines whoutilize the methods of applied mathematics, statistics andnumerical computation. For students and postdocs, this is amajor learning experience that helps them with futurepresentations and research. For many of these students, such alocal research conference is their first exposure to high qualityresearch being undertaken at other research institutions. Thisexposure helps students strive to emulate the quality of theseresearch activities. Past FACM conferences have an excellentrecord of participation of women and underrepresented minorities,and special efforts are made to continue this trend.
