Conference on the Foundations of Computational Mathematics

这项建议寻求支持，以增加美国研究人员对计算数学基础会议(FOCM)的参与，该会议将于2011年7月4日至14日由匈牙利布达佩斯科技经济大学主办。这次会议是计算数学基础学会组织的一系列国际会议中的第七次。这些会议每三年举行一次，前几次会议都在北美、南美和欧洲的不同国家举行。NSF的资金将用于支付30名美国公民/永久居民或在美国机构工作/学习的与会者的旅费(机票和部分生活支持)。受资助的参与者将主要是来自美国的学生和年轻研究人员，但组织者预计还将支付一些资深参与者的旅费和生活费。NSF资助约30名初级研究人员和研究生的旅费和其他参与者费用。会议组织者传统上一直并将继续致力于吸引年轻与会者和来自代表性不足群体的与会者，并提供与各学科领导人建立联系的宝贵机会。这次会议将促进理论计算机科学、计算和核心数学界之间的思想交流。会议代表的研究领域涉及数学与当代计算之间的广泛接口。会议的议程包括20个专题研讨会，主题包括近似理论、计算调和分析、计算代数几何、随机计算、计算动力学、计算数论、组合学和计算中的难解性、离散优化、连续优化、学习理论、基于信息的复杂性等。

This proposal seeks support to increase the participation of US researchers to the Conference on the Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM) which will be hosted by the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary between July 4-14, 2011. The conference is the seventh in a sequence of international meetings organized by the Society for the Foundations of Computational Mathematics. The meetings are held every three years and the preceding ones have been held in different countries in North and South America and Europe. The NSF funding will cover the travel costs (airfare and partial subsistence support) for 30 conference participants who are US citizens/permanent residents, or work/study at a US institution. The supported participants will be predominantly students and young researchers from the US, but the organizers expect to also cover the travel and subsistence expenses of some senior participants. NSF funding to support travel and other participant costs for approximately 30 junior researchers and graduate students. The conference organizers have been traditionally and continue to be dedicated to attracting young participants and participants from under-represented groups and providing valuable opportunities for networking with the leaders of the disciplines. The conference will facilitate the flow of ideas between the theoretical computer science, computational and core mathematics communities.The research areas represented at the conference span a diverse array of topics on the broad interface between mathematics and contemporary computation. The agenda of the conference includes 20 workshops on a broad array of topics including Approximation theory, Computational harmonic analysis, Computational algebraic geometry, Stochastic computation, Computational dynamics, Computational number theory, Combinatorics and intractability in computation, Discrete Optimization, Continuous Optimization, Learning theory, Information-based complexity, etc.
