Conference on Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics 2014, May 22 - 23, 2014

该项目支持本科生和研究生，博士后研究员，初级教师和其他研究人员参加新泽西理工学院（NJIT）的“应用和计算数学前沿”（FACM）会议。这个成功的会议系列已在过去的十年中由NJIT数学科学系和应用数学与统计中心组织。年会已成为传播应用和计算数学和统计研究的主要论坛。 FACM会议比大型社会会议更亲密和以学生为中心，组织者的目标是将应用数学的未来领导者介绍给既定的研究人员和新兴的研究领域。研究生和博士后的参与通过竞争性的申请过程大大提高，他们可以与领先的科学家一起在minisymopsia进行演讲。 过去的FACM会议有妇女和代表性不足的少数民族参与的良好记录，并将特别努力继续这一趋势。FACM 2014年的重点是数学生物学和生物统计学。会议邀请了全体会议，minisymopsia和海报会议，讨论当前非常感兴趣的领域，如大型数据集分析，计算生物学，昼夜节律和大脑疾病模型。这个会议系列汇集了数学家，统计学家，科学家和工程师在一个环境中，显着的相互作用和交叉施肥发生。 对于学生和博士后来说，这将是一个重要的学习和网络经验，将有助于他们的研究和职业道路。

This project supports the participation of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty, and other researchers in a conference on "Frontiers in Applied and Computational Mathematics" (FACM) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). This successful conference series has been organized over the past ten years by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Applied Mathematics and Statistics at NJIT. The annual meeting has established itself as a leading forum for the dissemination of research in applied and computational mathematics and statistics. FACM conferences are more intimate and student centered than large society meetings and a goal of the organizers is to introduce future leaders of applied mathematics to established investigators and emerging research areas. Participation among graduate students and postdocs is greatly enhanced through a competitive application process by which they can give presentations in minisymposia alongside leading scientists. Past FACM conferences have an excellent record of participation of women and underrepresented minorities, and special efforts will be made to continue this trend.FACM 2014 is focussed on mathematical biology and biostatistics. The meeting features invited plenary talks, minisymposia, and poster sessions on areas of great current interest, such as analysis of large data sets, computational biology, circadian rhythms, and models of brain disorders. This conference series brings together mathematicians, statisticians, scientists and engineers in an environment where significant interaction and cross-fertilization take place. For students and postdocs, this will be a major learning and networking experience that will help them with their research and career paths.
