Core Support of the Board on Mathematical Sciences.

摘要

This proposal summarizes activities of the Board on Mathematical Sciences (BMS) during the period August 1, 1998 to July 31, 1999 and describes future plans of the Board. The BMS activities supported exclusively by core funding are the annual Department Chairs Colloquia, symposia, specific reports, the initiation of all projects, continuous oversight of all activities, and partial support of the Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics (CATS). Other activities of the Board include reporting on research opportunities, education in the mathematical sciences, interaction of mathematical sciences with other areas, health of the mathematical sciences, and emerging research directions.
