Texas Algebraic Geometry Symposium

德州代数几何研讨会（TAGS）将于2016年4月1日至3日在德州大学奥斯汀分校举行。代数几何，历史上植根于对多项式方程解的研究，在21世纪仍然是一个充满活力的学科，既有其自身深刻的内部问题，也与许多其他科学和数学领域有着深远的相互作用。TAGS是区域代数几何社区的重大年度活动，汇集了该学科不同方面的专家以及刚进入该领域的研究生和博士后。TAGS 2016将实现以下科学目标。首先，它将为研究生、博士后和其他初级研究人员提供机会，从以有效沟通技巧而闻名的专家那里学习代数几何的广泛主题。第二，它将为年轻研究人员提供一个论坛，让他们与该地区其他机构的教师和同行建立关系，并向他们展示自己的成果。最后，它将有助于建立和维持一个有凝聚力的区域社区的研究人员参与代数几何的不同方面。除了实现这些科学目标外，2016年，tag将继续致力于鼓励妇女、少数民族和代表性不足群体的成员参与数学。研讨会的网址是http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/hwilliams/TAGS2016/。

The Texas Algebraic Geometry Symposium (TAGS) will take place April 1-3, 2016 at the University of Texas at Austin. Algebraic geometry, historically rooted in the study of solutions to polynomial equations, remains in the twenty-first century a vibrant subject with both its own deep internal questions as well as far-reaching interactions with many other parts of science and mathematics. TAGS is a major annual event in the regional algebraic geometry community, bringing together experts in different aspects of the subject as well as graduate students and postdocs just entering it.TAGS 2016 will accomplish the following scientific aims. First, it will provide graduate students, postdocs, and other junior researchers opportunities to learn about a wide range of topics in algebraic geometry from experts known for their effective communication skills. Second, it will provide a forum for young researchers to build relationships with, and present their work to, faculty and peers at other institutions in the region. Finally, it will help build and maintain a cohesive regional community of researchers involved in different aspects of algebraic geometry. In addition to fulfilling these scientific goals, in 2016 TAGS will continue its demonstrated commitment to encouraging the participation of women, minorities, and members of underrepresented groups in mathematics.
