AMS 2010 Joint Mathematics Meetings
Dates: January 13-16, 2010
Where: San Francisco, CA
Description:
The next national meeting of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and The American Mathematical Society (AMS) will be held in San Francisco! Mathematicians will return to the Bay Area after last meeting there in 1995! Nearly 6,000 people attended the meeting in 2009, and 2010 promises to be even larger and another incredible meeting experience for mathematicians and exhibitors from all over!
The AMS and MAA are joined at this meeting by the Association for Symbolic Logic, the Association for Women in Mathematics, the National Association for Mathematicians, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
Count on a few Joint Mathematics mainstays: a huge Exhibit Hall filled with some of the leading scientific publishers, well-known computer hardware and software manufacturers, well-known health and lifestyle companies, various companies offering mathematics enrichment products, and various professional organizations; a large and comprehensive Scientific Program geared toward mathematicians of all ages and levels of expertise; the Mathematical Art Exhibition that includes works by artists in various media; the Graduate School Fair for undergraduate students; Poster Sessions for young mathematicians and undergraduate students; opportunities for employment at the Mathematical Sciences Employment Center; Prize and Award Ceremonies; the first national Who Wants to Be a Mathematician game for local high school students; and endless networking and social events.
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC SUMMER INSTITUTES FOR U.S. GRADUATE STUDENTS - 2010 APPLICATION NOW OPEN
The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes for U.S. Graduate Students (EAPSI) is a flagship international fellowship program for developing the next generation of globally-engaged U.S. scientists and engineers knowledgeable about the Asian and Pacific regions. The Summer Institutes are hosted by foreign counterparts committed to increasing opportunities for young U.S. researchers to work in research facilities and with host mentors abroad. Fellows are supported to participate in eight-week research experiences at host laboratories in Australia, China, Japan (10 weeks), Korea, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan from June to August. The program provides a $5,000 summer stipend, round-trip airfare to the host location, living expenses abroad, and an introduction to the society, culture, language, and research environment of the host location.
The 2010 application is now open and will close December 8, 2009. Application instructions are available online at www.nsfsi.org. For further information concerning benefits, eligibility, and tips on applying, applicants are encouraged to visit www.nsf.gov/eapsi or www.nsfsi.org.
NSF recognizes the importance of enabling U.S. researchers and educators to advance their work through international collaborations and the value of ensuring that future generations of U.S. scientists and engineers gain professional experience beyond this nation's borders early in their careers. The program is intended for U.S. graduate students pursuing studies in fields supported by the National Science Foundation. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply for the EAPSI. Applicants must be enrolled in a research-oriented master's or PhD program and be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents by the application deadline date. Students in combined bachelor/master degree programs must have matriculated from the undergraduate degree program at time of application.
The first Summer Institutes began in Japan in 1990, and to date approximately 1,800 U.S. graduate students have participated in the program. For the 2009 competition, NSF received 317 applications and issued 187 awards. EAPSI applicants are representative of most U.S. states and territories. The 2009 awardees pool included representation from 95 universities and 40 states.
The NSF-EAPSI Operations Center is administered by the American Society for Engineering Education (www.asee.org/fellowships).
