Southeastern-Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations (SEARCDE)

该奖项支持参加2014年10月11日至12日在田纳西州孟菲斯市孟菲斯大学举行的第34届东南-大西洋地区微分方程会议（SEARCDE）。自1981年以来，由弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学数学系的成员发起的searde每年举行一次会议。从那以后，会议在东南部的各个研究机构之间轮流举行。searde的主要目标是促进微分方程领域的研究和教育，将已有的和刚起步的研究人员聚集在一起，包括高级本科生和研究生以及最近的博士。除了四场由国际知名学者主讲的全体讲座外，还有20分钟的专题讲座。SEARCDE为所有参与者提供机会，在这些20分钟的贡献演讲中展示他们自己的工作。会议的组织是这样的，由成熟的研究人员的演讲与新研究人员的演讲穿插在一起。有关会议的详细信息可在会议网站http://www.searcde.org上找到。searde会议的主要目标是提供一个交流思想的平台，讨论该领域的最新发展，并为建立网络和创建新的研究合作提供重要机会。会议提供了一个交流思想和讨论理论和应用微分方程最新发展的平台。searde特别鼓励初级研究人员的参与，他们可以与著名的全体会议演讲者和主要的区域专家见面并听取他们的意见。这通常会带来新的联系、合作机会和更广泛的兴趣。这些特征对年轻的研究人员很重要，尤其是那些来自传统上代表性不足的群体的研究人员。在过去的三十年里，searde已经成为许多研究生就他们的论文研究主题进行演讲的场所。这通常是他们第一次在正式的会议上做报告。NSF的资助保证了许多有才华的年轻研究人员将有机会参加searde 2014。

This award supports participation in the thirty-fourth Southeastern-Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations (SEARCDE) conference, held at the University of Memphis in Memphis, TN on October 11 and 12, 2014. The SEARCDE, initiated by members of the Department of Mathematics at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, has met annually since 1981. Since then, the meeting has rotated among various research institutions in the Southeast. The primary objective of SEARCDE is to promote research and education in the field of differential equations by bringing together established and beginning researchers, including advanced undergraduate and graduates students as well as recent PhDs. In addition to the four plenary lectures given by outstanding internationally recognized scholars, there are twenty minute contributed talks given in parallel sessions. SEARCDE provides opportunities for all participants to present their own work in these twenty minute contributed talks. The sessions are organized so that talks by established researchers are interspersed with talks by beginning researchers. Detailed information about the conference can be found at the conference's website, http://www.searcde.org . The principal goal of the SEARCDE meeting is to provide a platform to exchange ideas, to discuss recent developments in the field, and to provide important opportunities for networking and the creation of new research collaborations. The meeting provides a platform to exchange ideas and to discuss recent developments in both theoretical and applied differential equations. SEARCDE particularly encourages the participation of beginning researchers who get to meet and hear renowned plenary speakers plus leading regional experts. This typically has led to new contacts, collaboration opportunities, and broader interests. These features are important for young researchers, especially those from traditionally underrepresented groups. For the past three decades, SEARCDE has been the setting for many talks given by graduate students on the topics of their dissertation research. Often this is their first experience giving a formal conference presentations. NSF funding ensures that many talented young researchers will have the opportunity to participate in SEARCDE 2014.
