Integers Conference 2018

该奖项将为“整数会议2018”提供资金，该会议将于2018年10月3日至6日在乔治亚州奥古斯塔举行。这次会议由奥古斯塔大学数学系主办。整数会议，这将是第八届会议，将数学家和对组合学和数论领域感兴趣的学生聚集在一起。它将促进从有才华的本科生到国际知名的研究人员的各个职业阶段的研究数学家之间的互动。很大一部分资金将用于支持学生、早期职业教师和属于代表性不足群体的数学家。本次会议将作为一个催化剂，促进数学家之间的重大合作项目，代表了加法数论、乘法数论、组合博弈论、概率数论、枚举组合、组合优化、拉姆齐理论、分区理论，以及其他领域的组合和数论。会议将有三名全体发言者和大约六十名额外发言者。会议组织者计划支持20个学生研究演讲，其中包括最近参加NSF“本科生研究经历”项目的学生的演讲。会议记录将作为《整数》杂志的专卷出版。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，认为值得支持。

This award will provide funding for the "Integers Conference 2018," which will be held in Augusta, Georgia, October 3-6, 2018. The conference is being hosted by the Department of Mathematics at Augusta University. The Integers conferences, of which this will be the eighth, serve to bring together mathematicians and students interested in the fields of combinatorics and number theory. It will promote interaction among research mathematicians at all career stages from the talented undergraduate to the internationally distinguished researcher. A large portion of the funding will support students, early-career faculty, and mathematicians belonging to underrepresented groups. The conference will serve as a catalyst for major collaborative projects among mathematicians representing the areas of additive number theory, multiplicative number theory, combinatorial game theory, probabilistic number theory, enumerative combinatorics, combinatorial optimization, Ramsey theory, the theory of partitions, and other areas of combinatorics and number theory. It will feature three plenary speakers and around sixty additional speakers. The conference organizers plan to support twenty student research talks, including talks presented by students who have recently participated in an NSF "Research Experiences for Undergraduates" program. The proceedings of the conference will be published as a special volume of the journal Integers. The following website has been created for the conference: https://sites.google.com/a/westga.edu/integersconference2018/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.
