Eastern Illinois Integrated Conference in Geometry, Dynamics, and Topology

该奖项支持将于2016年4月15日至17日在东伊利诺伊大学举行的东伊利诺伊州几何、动力学和拓扑学综合会议。这次会议是综合的，因为它吸引了他们数学生涯的每个阶段的参与者，特别关注早期职业生涯的研究生和本科生。这种类型的会议汇集了从学术上年轻的到成熟的研究人员，但提供的研究重点比通常的本科生会议更狭隘。这种狭隘的关注有助于在数学研究的背景下促进更有意义的接触。这次会议旨在激发年轻数学家对研究数学的兴趣，促进代际和代内的研究联系，并展示如何将本科生纳入这些领域的研究项目。组委会邀请了三位知名演讲者和三位职业生涯早期演讲者；这些演讲者的入选既是因为他们在各自领域的卓越地位，也是因为他们有能力为具有广泛数学背景的观众提供对复杂主题的有意义的介绍。研究生和本科生的投稿邀请函将于2月中旬发出。提交的摘要将由东伊利诺伊大学教师组成的特定主题委员会审查。最多6名研究生和12至15名本科生将被邀请以演讲或海报形式进行演讲。除了讲座和海报会议，会议还提供了不那么正式的互动机会，包括周五和周六晚上的社交活动。我们越来越注重让本科生融入职业生活，包括资助研究生和职业生涯早期数学家的小组讨论，讨论了上研究生和追求数学学术生涯的重要但很少讨论的方面。更多信息将在会议网站上获得：https://ux1.eiu.edu/~gdt/2016.html

This award supports the Eastern Illinois Integrated Conference in Geometry, Dynamics, and Topology, which will occur the weekend of April 15-17, 2016, at Eastern Illinois University. This conference is integrated in the sense that it draws participants at every stage of their mathematical careers, with particular focus on both early-career graduate students and undergraduates. A meeting of this type brings together researchers from the academically young to the well-established, yet offers a more narrow research focus than is typically found at undergraduate-inclusive conferences. This narrow focus serves to promote more meaningful contact in the context of mathematical research. The conference is intended to fuel young mathematicians' interest in research mathematics, promote inter- and intra-generational research ties, and demonstrate how undergraduates can be incorporated into research programs in these fields.Three established speakers and three early-career speakers are invited by the organizing committee; these speakers are chosen both for their eminence in their respective fields and their ability to provide meaningful introductions to complex topics for audiences with a wide range of mathematical backgrounds. Invitations for submissions by graduate students and undergraduate students will be issued in mid-February. Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by subject-specific committees composed of faculty at Eastern Illinois University. Up to 6 graduate students and between 12 and 15 undergraduates will be invited to make presentations, either as talks or in poster sessions. In addition to the talks and poster sessions, the conference provides opportunities for less formal interaction, including social events on Friday and Saturday nights. Our increased focus on incorporating undergraduates into professional life includes panel discussions from funded graduate students and early-career mathematicians covering important but seldom-discussed aspects of attending graduate school and pursuing an academic career in mathematics.More information will be available at the conference website: https://ux1.eiu.edu/~gdt/2016.html
