The 24th Southeastern Analysis Meeting and Shanks Lectures, March 5-9, 2008

该提案是为2008年3月5日至9日在范德比尔特大学举行的第24届东南分析会议（SEAM）和尚克斯讲座提供部分资金。该补充的目的是申请资金，以帮助推迟研究生，少数民族，妇女和最近的博士生的费用，努力让他们有机会参加会议。SEAM会议首次在弗吉尼亚理工大学举行。1985年从那时起，它的位置在东南部的机构之间轮换。一年一度的桑克斯讲座在数学系，范德比尔特大学的日期可以追溯到1985年。 SEAM为新老研究人员和高级研究生提供了会面和交流思想的机会，并讨论了现代和经典分析中包含的各种数学。特别是，会议传统上提供了一个机会，让年轻的研究人员介绍他们的工作，并讨论他们的研究与更有经验的数学家。会议期间提出的各种主题提供了一个独特的机会，可以看到分析中的各种问题。 桑克斯讲座发挥了突出的作用，数学系在范德比尔特大学在过去的23年。本次会议的演讲者将是普林斯顿大学的查尔斯·费曼。 NSF的资金将完全用于参与者的支持。优先考虑代表性不足的群体，研究生，博士后和年轻的教师。

AbstractZhengThe proposal is for partial funding of the 24-th Southeastern Analysis Meeting (SEAM) and Shanks lectures at Vanderbilt University, from March 5 to 9, 2008. The purpose of this supplement is to request funding to help defer the expenses of graduate students, minorities, women, and recent doctoral recipients in an effort to give them the opportunity to participate in the conference. The SEAM conference was first held at Virginia Tech. in 1985. Since then its location has rotated among the institutions in the southeast. The annual Shanks Lectures at the Department of Mathematics, Vanderbilt University date back to 1985. The SEAM affords established and new researchers, and advanced graduate students, the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and discuss the wide variety of mathematics encompassed within modern and classical analysis. In particular, the conference has traditionally provided an opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to discuss their research with more experienced mathematicians. The diverse topics presented during the conference provide a unique opportunity to see the wide variety of problems in analysis. The Shanks Lectures have played a prominent role in the Mathematics Department at Vanderbilt University for the past 23 years. The lecturer for this conference will be Charles Fefferman, Princeton University. NSF's funding will be used completely for participants' support. Priority will be given to members of underrepresented groups, graduate students, postdocs, and younger faculty.
