Conference: The Midwest Numerical Analysis Day 2024

2024年中西部数值分析日将于2024年4月13日至14日在爱荷华州爱荷华市的爱荷华大学校园举行。这次会议汇集了所有职业阶段的研究人员和研究生，主要来自中西部地区，他们从事或对数值分析和应用感兴趣。会议的特色是邀请世界一流的专家作报告，并由地区研究人员、教育工作者和学生就数值分析和跨学科应用的新发展作报告。会议促进了思想和知识的交流，并将促进在重要研究课题上的新合作。已作出特别努力，确保学生、初级研究人员、大学教员，特别是妇女、代表性不足的少数民族和残疾人更广泛地参与研究和教学活动。会议有助于扩大国家下一代数值分析和计算科学家的劳动力基础。现代计算系统越来越普遍，它们现在被用于解决许多科学和工程领域日益复杂的问题，如固体力学、流体力学、生物力学、生态系统、环境、可持续性、气候、人工智能、机器学习和地球物理学。设计适合这些计算系统的数值算法，并为其提供理论支持，是科学计算的关键。为了为特定的应用设计有效的算法，需要不同学科之间的协作。本次会议不仅将对数值分析领域的发展起到重要的推动作用，而且将为中西部地区大学数值分析与各科学学科的研究人员之间的跨学科合作提供强有力的动力。会议的目的是(1)提供一个论坛，交流有关数值分析、算法发展、计算机模拟及其在工程和科学中的应用的研究和教学的新思想和新成果，并促进跨学科合作；(2)为地区院校的数值分析人员提供继续参与研究活动的机会；(3)向研究生和新近获得博士学位的人展示令人兴奋的研究课题；(4)鼓励弱势群体成员参与研究领域。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，认为值得支持。

The Midwest Numerical Analysis Day 2024 from April 13-14, 2024 is held on the campus of the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. This conference brings together researchers of all career stages and graduate students, mainly from the Midwestern area, who work on or are interested in numerical analysis and applications. The conference features invited presentations by world-class experts and contributed presentations by regional researchers, educators, and students on new developments in numerical analysis and interdisciplinary applications. The conference promotes the exchange of ideas and knowledge and will catalyze new collaborations on important research topics. Special efforts are made to ensure a broadened participation in the research and teaching activities from students, junior researchers, college faculty, especially women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities. The conference helps to enlarge the workforce base of the nation for the next generation numerical analysts and computational scientists.Modern computing systems are increasingly widespread, and they are now used to solve increasingly complicated problems in many fields of sciences and engineering, such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, biomechanics, ecosystems, environment, sustainability, climate, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and geophysics. Designing numerical algorithms that are suitable for these computing systems, and providing theoretical support for them, is crucial in scientific computation. In order to design efficient algorithms for particular applications, collaborations between different disciplines are required. The conference will not only play a central role in advancing the area of numerical analysis, but also provide strong motivation for interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers in numerical analysis and various scientific disciplines at the universities in the Midwestern region. The conference serves the purposes (1) to provide a forum to exchange new ideas and results related to research and teaching on numerical analysis, algorithm developments, computer simulation, and their applications in engineering and sciences, and to motivate interdisciplinary collaborations; (2) to provide an opportunity for numerical analysts in regional colleges to remain involved in research activities; (3) to expose exciting research topics to graduate students and recent doctoral recipients; (4) to encourage members of under-represented groups to participate in the research areas.
