The Midwest Numerical Analysis Day

该奖项为24名区域参与者提供支持，参加将于2018年4月14日至15日在堪萨斯劳伦斯的堪萨斯大学校园举行的“中西部数值分析日”。基金将为妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和年轻参与者（研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师）提供支持。科学计算是一个快速发展的多学科领域，并已成为一个共同的工具，利用先进的计算能力来构建复杂问题的数学模型，发展定量分析技术，理解和解决不同学科的科学问题。数值分析是科学计算的核心，是开发和研究获得真实的世界问题的数学模型的数值解的算法的领域。随着现代计算机功能的不断增强，大规模和复杂的模拟成为可能，这反过来又需要数值分析师，算法设计师以及应用科学和工程出口之间的合作。在过去的几十年里，这种跨学科的合作已经显著增加，并成为一种新的规范。这次会议将带来对科学计算和相关应用感兴趣的数学和应用科学与工程研究人员。它将促进不同学科之间的知识转移，并促进合作。该会议将为区域研究人员在其职业生涯的各个阶段，特别是年轻的教师，博士后和研究生提供一个极好的机会，展示他们的研究成果，有机会与来自不同学科的人交流思想，并获得经验，提高他们的沟通和演示技巧。 此外，会议将邀请，鼓励和支持来自代表性不足的群体的人。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for 24 regional participants to attend "The Midwest Numerical Analysis Day", which will be held on April 14 to 15, 2018, on the campus of the University of Kansas, in Lawrence, Kansas. Funds will provide support for women, underrepresented minorities, and young participants (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty). Scientific computing is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field and has become a common tool for using advanced computing capabilities to construct mathematical models for complex problems, to develop quantitative analysis techniques, and to understand and solve the scientific problems arising from different disciplines. Numerical analysis is the core of scientific computing, an area that develops and studies algorithms of obtaining the numerical solutions of the mathematical models of real world problems. With the increasing power of modern computers, large scale and complex simulations become possible, which in turn requires collaboration among numerical analysts, algorithm designers, and exports in applied sciences and engineering. Such an interdisciplinary collaboration has increased significantly and become a new norm in last decades.This conference will bring groups of researchers in mathematics and applied sciences and engineering who are interested in scientific computation and related applications. It will facilitate a transfer of knowledge among different disciplines and promote the collaborations. The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for regional researchers in all stages of their careers, especially for young faculty members, postdocs, and graduate students, to present their research results, have the opportunities to exchange the ideas with people from different disciplines, and gain experience and improve their skills in communication and presentation. Moreover, the conference will invite, encourage, and support people from underrepresented groups.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
