SIAM TX-LA Section Meeting

基础科学和工程科学可以改变我们的生活方式，计算数学和应用数学学科对这些发展越来越重要。德克萨斯州和路易斯安那州SIAM分部横跨一个地理区域，包括13所大学和几个医学和工业研究中心。在这种令人兴奋的协同作用的推动下，工业与应用数学学会德克萨斯州-路易斯安那州分会会议将于2018年10月5日至10月7日在路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的路易斯安那州立大学举行。这次会议提供了一个特别的机会，通过积极吸引更广泛的年轻应用数学家，而不是更标准的研讨会形式，增加了参与的多样性和广度。这种研讨会形式允许本科生，研究生和年轻的研究者直接与来自科学和应用数学前沿的跨学科问题的更大的研究团体进行互动。这一特点增加了妇女、残疾人和代表性不足的少数民族在STEM领域的多样性和充分参与。它使本科生、研究生和早期职业应用数学家接触到挑战科学的当代和基本理论问题；通过跨学科合作实现未来的突破。本次会议的成果之一是为下一代研究人员和教育工作者的研究教育提供独特而宝贵的经验。本次会议旨在促进应用数学界与基础和工程科学界之间的合作和协同作用，并促进工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）与德克萨斯-路易斯安那地区的大学和研究中心之间的互动和合作。工业与应用数学学会德克萨斯州-路易斯安那分会会议的科学目标是：促进应用和计算数学家与基础科学和工程科学研究人员之间的新的科学合作，以解决科学前沿的当代问题。小型专题讨论会包括墨西哥湾海上油气生产中的数学、数学生物学中的建模、分析和计算、复杂介质中波浪的计算方法、多物理场问题的高阶精确数值方法、数值PDE/ODE和高性能计算应用、油气勘探和生产中的数学、微分算子的谱理论、多孔介质的多尺度方法和不确定度量化。分数阶微分方程的数值近似，骨折的数学和计算方面，非线性偏微分方程及其应用，数值几何偏微分方程，以及疾病动力学的非线性建模。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

Basic and engineering science can deliver game changing advances in the way we live and the disciplines of computational and applied mathematics are increasingly central to these developments. The Texas and Louisiana SIAM Section spans a geographical region including 13 Universities and several Medical and Industrial Research Centers. Motivated by this exciting synergy the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Texas-Louisiana Section Meeting will be held from 10/5/2018 through 10/7/2018 at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge Louisiana. The Meeting offers a special opportunity for increasing diversity and breadth of participation by actively engaging a much broader base of younger applied mathematicians than in more standard symposium formats. This symposium format allows undergraduate students, graduate students and young investigators to directly interact with the greater research community on interdisciplinary problems coming from the frontiers of science and applied mathematics. This feature increases diversity and full participation of women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in STEM fields. It exposes undergraduate students, graduate students, and early career applied mathematicians to contemporary and fundamental theoretical problems challenging science; enabling future breakthroughs through interdisciplinary collaboration. One of the outcomes of this Meeting to provide a unique and valuable experience in the research education of next the generation of investigators and educators. This Meeting is intended to foster collaboration and synergy between the applied mathematics community and the basic and engineering science community and to facilitate interaction and collaboration between the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and the Universities and Research Centers in the Texas - Louisiana region. The scientific goals of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Texas-Louisiana Section Meeting are: To foster new scientific collaborations between applied and computational mathematicians and researchers in the basic and engineering sciences in order to address contemporary problems at the frontiers of science. Mini symposia include Mathematics in Gulf of Mexico offshore oil and gas production, Modeling, analysis, and computation in mathematical biology, Computational methods for waves in complex media, High-order accurate numerical methods for multi-physics problems, Numerical PDE/ODE and high performance computing applications, Mathematics in oil and gas exploration and production, Spectral theory of differential operators, Multiscale methods and uncertainty quantification for porous media, Numerical approximation of fractional differential equations, Mathematical and computational aspects of fracture, Nonlinear partial differential equations and applications, Numerical Geometric PDE, and Nonlinear modeling of disease dynamics.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.
