7th Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium

中西部女性数学研讨会（WIMS）自2013年以来一直是一年一度的活动，每年由中西部地区的不同大学主办。2019年研讨会的主办方是爱荷华州大学。这是第一次在密西西比河以西举行会议。会议将女研究生和从博士后研究人员到教授的各级专业数学家聚集在一起，讨论当前的数学研究问题，并学习如何寻找学术和STEM相关的工作。(The研讨会对所有人开放，不分性别。在这个现代化的时代，数学的发展是显着快速和研究领域广泛传播。现实是，不同领域的人几乎没有沟通和合作。研讨会是必不可少的弥合这些差距，建立一个社区的意识，妇女之间的数学开始与中西部和促进新的研究合作和指导关系。（i）代数，（ii）分析和偏微分方程，（iii）数学生物学，（iv）几何和拓扑学，从纯数学到应用数学。研讨会的目标之一是遇到这些和相关领域的当前热门课题。研讨会包括两个一小时的全体会议，十二个三十分钟的邀请讲座和八个研究生报告在四个平行的会议，也对职业问题的讨论。特别是，全体会议以座谈会的形式进行，使一般听众更容易获得信息。在平行会议上，将提供更详细的研究报告。研究生的演讲（这是2019年研讨会的一个新功能，取代了以前会议上的海报）预计将帮助他们更好地寻找未来的合作者和学术/非学术职位。 关于研讨会的更多信息，包括发言者名单和摘要，将在研讨会网页上提供：https://math.uiowa.edu/news-events/7th-midwest-women-mathematics-symposiumThis奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (WIMS) has been an annual event since 2013, hosted by different universities in the Midwest region each year. The host of 2019 symposium is the University of Iowa. It is the first time that the meeting is taking place in the West of the Mississippi River. The meeting brings female graduate students and professional mathematicians of all ranks from postdoctoral researchers to professors together to discuss current mathematical research problems and learn how to search for academic and STEM-related jobs. (The symposium is open to everyone regardless of gender.) In this modern age, the development of mathematics is significantly fast and areas of research are widely spread. Reality is that people in different fields hardly communicate and collaborate. The Symposium is essential in bridging these gaps by building a sense of community among women in mathematics starting with the Midwest and promoting new research collaborations and mentoring relations.In this symposium, presenters and speakers are chosen from four mathematical fields; (i) Algebra, (ii) Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, (iii) Mathematical Biology, and (iv) Geometry and Topology, that vary from pure math to applied math. One of the goals of the Symposium is to encounter current hot subjects in these and related fields. The Symposium features two one-hour plenary talks, twelve thirty-minute invited lectures and eight graduate student presentations in four parallel sessions and also a discussion on career issues. Especially the plenary talks are delivered in colloquium style to make the information more accessible to general audiences. In the parallel sessions, more detailed presentations of research will be given. Presentations by graduate students (which is a new feature of 2019 symposium, replacing presenting posters only in previous meetings) is expected to help them better in finding future collaborators and academic/non-academic positions. More information about the Symposium including the list of speakers and abstracts will be available at the symposium web page: https://math.uiowa.edu/news-events/7th-midwest-women-mathematics-symposiumThis 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.
