Midwest Women in Math Symposium (Midwest WIMS)

中西部女性数学研讨会将于2014年4月5日在巴黎圣母院举行。这次研讨会的目标是突出女性对数学界的贡献，加强中西部女性数学家的网络，鼓励新的合作，并促进研究生、博士后和教授之间的指导，以帮助女性在研究中保持活跃。研讨会将包括几场数学演讲，其中包括卡内基梅隆大学的勒诺尔·布鲁姆的主旨演讲。将有代数、动力系统、几何和拓扑学、逻辑、数学生物学、偏微分方程式和统计学的平行课程。此外，还将有一个问题会议来鼓励新的合作；特别鼓励跨学科的问题。研讨会鼓励妇女参与其学术生涯的不同阶段，从研究生到正式教职员工。有研究天赋的女性退出研究界并不少见。讲座和问题会议将引导女性进入新的、令人兴奋的项目。延长的午餐和其他休息时间将为处于职业生涯不同阶段的参与者提供讨论数学问题或简单地交换故事的机会。PI希望一些与会者在非严格的数学讨论中学习保持研究活跃的策略。会议的网站是：http://www3.nd.edu/~wims/

The Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (Midwest WIMS) will be held at Notre Dame on April 5, 2014. The goals of this symposium are to highlight women's contributions to the mathematical community, strengthen the network of female mathematicians in the Midwest, encourage new collaborations, and facilitate mentoring among graduate students, postdocs, and professors to help women stay active in research. The symposium will include several mathematical talks, including a keynote address given by Lenore Blum of Carnegie Mellon University. There will be parallel sessions in algebra, dynamical systems, geometry and topology, logic, mathematical biology, partial differential equations, and statistics. In addition, there will be a problem session to encourage new collaborations; problems that cut across disciplines are particularly encouraged. The symposium encourages participation of women in various stages of their academic careers, ranging from graduate students to full faculty. It is not uncommon for women with research talent to drop out of the research community. The talks and the problem session will lead women to new and exciting projects. An extended lunch and other breaks will give participants at various stages in their careers the opportunity discuss mathematical problems, or simply exchange stories. The PI expects that some participants will, in discussions that are not strictly mathematical, learn strategies for staying active in research.The conference website is at http://www3.nd.edu/~wims/
