Program information for SIAM 50 at http://www.siam.org/meetings/SIAM50/. To qualify: Individuals must be mathematical scientists with full time appointments in universities in "outreach" countries, for whom attendance would otherwise not be within reach. Any country on the list of countries to which we extend SIAM "outreach" membership rates - you can find the list of countries at https://www.siam.org/membership/outreachlist.htm - will qualify. Award: 1. round-trip excursion rate airfare (most economical available) to SIAM50 2. US$250 to help defray costs while at the meeting 3. one year paid SIAM "outreach" member dues ***SIAM will waive registration fees for the five awardees. To apply: Send a cover letter stating your intention to attend SIAM50 and explaining the reasons for your request. Provide a letter from your home university or institute expressing support for your attendance at the meeting. The letter should confirm your position, provide the title of your position and be signed by a department chairman or supervisor. A commitment to fund the remainder of the cost of travel/expenses not covered by the award should also be stated. Individuals who will be presenting papers at the conference will be given priority. Append to the letter a copy of the abstract of your presentation. The presentation itself must be submitted by normal channels. Potential awardees must be able to receive permission to travel to Philadelphia with the intent of attending the SIAM50 meeting. Applications must be received by February 25, 2002. Selection: The awardees will be selected by a SIAM committee. The tentative list of winners to be submitted to Elsevier Science for approval on or before April 1.
