Conference for African American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS)

非裔美国人数学科学研究人员会议（CAARMS）是一个年度会议，它允许来自全国各地的少数民族数学科学研究人员和学生作为研究数学家相互交流。讲座由12位受邀演讲者提供，他们主要是非裔美国人，但也不完全是。会议的形式允许他们在三天的时间里提供一个小时的非平行讲座。这是为了确保会议的所有参与者都能接触到非裔美国人研究数学科学的气息，以及数学科学本身的气息。我们鼓励学生参加会议，并在第一天通过海报展示为会议的智力活动做出贡献。参加会议的年轻研究人员担任海报的评委。第二天给学生颁奖。第三天，获胜的学生就他们的工作做简短的演讲。最后，还有一些会议的评审记录。到目前为止已经出版了五本。未来的计划是为开始学习做数学科学研究的本科生举办一个会前研讨会，为研究合作和提案写作的年轻教师举办一个研讨会。正在开发一个永久的CAARMS网站（www.caarms.net），以鼓励全年的研究合作活动。未来三次CAARMS会议的日程安排如下：CAARMS17(2011)-纯粹与应用数学研究所（IPAM）， 2011年6月1-4日。主持：William A. Massey教授（普林斯顿大学）和Russel Caflisch教授（加州大学洛杉矶分校IPAM）CAARMS18(2012)-斯坦福大学，2012年6月。主持：William A. Massey教授（普林斯顿大学）和Peter Glynn教授（斯坦福大学）CAARMS20(2013)-普林斯顿大学，2013年6月。主持：William A. Massey教授（普林斯顿大学）

The Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences (CAARMS) is an annual conference that allows minority researchers and students in the mathematical sciences from across the country to interact with each other as research mathematicians. Lectures are given by 12 invited speakers who are primarily African-American but not exclusively. The format of the conference allows all of them to give single hour, non-parallel lectures over at three day period. This is to ensure that all the participants of the conference are exposed both to the breath of African-American researchers in the mathematical sciences as well as the breath of the mathematical sciences themselves. Students are encouraged to attend and contribute to the intellectual activity of the conference by making poster presentations on the first day.Young researchers attending the conference serve as judges for the posters. Awards are given to the students on the second day. On the third day, the winning students give short lectures about their work. Finally, there are refereed proceedings for some of the conferences. Five have been published to date. Future plans are to have a pre-conference workshop for undergraduate students who are beginning to learn about doing research in the mathematical sciences and one for young faculty on research collaborations and proposal writing. A permanent CAARMS website (www.caarms.net) is being developed that will encourage research collaborative activity throughout the year. The schedule for the next three CAARMS conferences is as follows:CAARMS17 (2011)--Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), June 1-4, 2011.Chairs: Prof. William A. Massey (Princeton University) and Prof. Russel Caflisch (IPAM,UCLA)CAARMS18 (2012)--Stanford University, June 2012.Chairs: Prof. William A. Massey (Princeton University) and Prof. Peter Glynn (StanfordUniversity)CAARMS20 (2013)--Princeton University, June 2013.Chair: Prof. William A. Massey (Princeton University)
