Conference Series on Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics (ALGECOM)

ALGECOM（代数-几何-组合）是一系列两年一次的会议。主要目标是促进中西部学生和教师之间的合作和定期互动。我们将邀请（非本地）资深及早期的数学家作讲者。ALGECOM在中西部地区已有近十年的历史，涉及50多家机构。该赠款将资助参与者前往参加六次会议，其中第一次会议ALGECOM XVII将于2019年5月25日在芝加哥洛约拉大学举行。会议网址：https://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/algecom-xvii.Each ALGECOM会议由四场演讲和一个学生海报会议组成。在代数，几何和组合的边界研究的传播是该系列的基本智力价值。中西部有许多部门都有单独的小型algom相关研究小组。这些为期一天的会议为这些小组之间的研究合作提供了种子。一项主要的努力是鼓励研究生、应届毕业生和非终身教职员工的出席。就更广泛的影响而言，目前正在努力招募妇女作为参与者和演讲者（事实上，第14届ALGECOM有第一个全女性演讲者名单）。这些努力得到了NSF的支持，因为它允许邀请来自更大地理区域的数学家。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。

ALGECOM (algebra-geometry-combinatorics) is a series of biannual one day conferences. The main goal is to promote collaboration and regular interaction among midwest students and faculty. Both (non-local) senior and early career mathematicians will be invited as speakers. ALGECOM is now a nearly decade-long tradition in the midwest and has involved over fifty institutions. This grant will fund participant travel to six conferences, the first of which, ALGECOM XVII, will be at Loyola University in Chicago on May 25, 2019. The conference website is at https://sites.google.com/site/algecomday/algecom-xvii.Each session of ALGECOM consists of four talks and a student poster session. Dissemination of research at the border of algebra, geometry and combinatorics is the basic intellectual merit of the series. There is a wealth of midwest departments with individually small ALGECOM-related research groups. These one day conferences provide the seed for research collaboration among these groups. A major effort has been made to encourage the attendance of graduate students, recent graduates, and untenured faculty. In terms of broader impacts, there are ongoing efforts to recruit women as participants and speakers (in fact ALGECOM 14 had the first all women speaker list). These efforts are enhanced by NSF support, as it allows for invitations to mathematicians from a geographically larger region.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.
