ALGECOM (Algebra-Geometry-Combinatorics)

ALGECOM（代数-几何-组合）是一系列为期一天的会议，自2009年秋季以来每两年举行一次。第一次资助会议定于2012年4月28日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行。主要目标是促进中西部学生和教师之间的合作和定期互动。将邀请非本地的资深数学家，增加系列的知识含量。这将有助于将ALGECOM建设成为中西部地区的长期传统。ALGECOM每届会议包括四场演讲。相对较少的会谈日程强调希望有充足的非正式互动机会。自成立以来，ALGECOM一直在普渡大学、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校和印第安纳大学普渡大学之间轮换。NSF基金将支持ALGECOM在中西部其他机构的轮转。这将扩大这个系列的影响范围。类似的科学内容的系列会议在任何一个海岸都存在，例如，海湾地区的BADMATH日，以及美国国家科学基金会资助的罗利-达勒姆地区的三角系列讲座。我们相信这些优秀剧集的成功可以在中西部地区复制。我们将继续鼓励研究生、应届毕业生和非终身教职员工的出席。目前正在努力以多样化的方式招募与会者和演讲者。这些努力得到国家科学基金会的支持，因为它将有可能从一个地理上更大的地区资助个人。有关系列会议的信息可在会议网站上找到：http://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/

ALGECOM (algebra-geometry-combinatorics) is a series of one-day conferences that have occurred biannually since Fall 2009. The first funded conference is scheduled for April 28, 2012 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The main goal is promotion of collaboration and regular interaction among midwest students and faculty. Non-local senior mathematicians will be invited, enhancing the intellectual content of the series. This will contribute towards building ALGECOM into a longstanding tradition in the midwest. Each session of ALGECOM consists of four talks. A relatively light schedule of talks emphasizes the desire for ample opportunity for informal interaction. Since its inception, ALGECOM has alternated between Purdue University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Indiana University Purdue University in Indianapolis. NSF funds will support rotation of ALGECOM to other midwest institutions. This will broaden the reach of the series.Conference series of similar scientific content exist on either coast, e.g., the BADMATH day in the Bay Area, and the NSF funded Triangle lecture series in the Raleigh-Durham area. We believe that the success of these excellent series can be replicated in the midwest. We will continue to encourage the attendance of graduate students, recent graduates, and untenured faculty. There are ongoing efforts to recruit participants and speakers in a diverse manner. These efforts are enhanced by NSF support, since it will be possible to fund individuals from a geographically larger region.Information about the conference series can be found at the conference website:http://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/
