2014 NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences

摘要

The National Science Foundation recently announced support for eight NSF-CBMS regional research conferences to be held during 2014. These eight bring to 353 die total number of such conferences since the NSF-CBMS Regional Research Conference Series began in 1969. The conferences are intended to stimulate interest and activity in mathematical research. Each five-day conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers 10 lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathematical sciences. The lecturer subsequently prepares an expository monograph based upon these lectures, which is normally published as part of a regional conference series. Depending on the conference topic, the monograph is published by the American Mathematical Society, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, or joindy by the American Statistical Association and Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
