Mathematical Opportunities

Organizing the 2020 AMS Short Course

Calls for Proposals / Mathematical scientists/faculty, Institutions and Programs

The AMS Short Course Subcommittee (SHORTCOURS) invites submissions of preliminary proposals for Short Courses to be offered in coordination with the 2020 Joint Mathematics Meetings in Denver, Colorado. Members of the mathematical community are also welcome to suggest names of colleagues who are potential organizers.

A short course typically incorporates a sequence of survey lectures and other activities focused on a single theme of applied mathematics during the two days immediately preceding the JMM. Its goal is to provide professional and in-training mathematicians an introduction that can:

• satisfy the curiosity of those new to the subject
• provide an entrée to new research topics
• inspire new methods of problem solving
• be part of the participants' professional development and continuing education

Usually there are about six lectures, and it is anticipated that the proceedings of the Short Course will be published in the AMS series Proceedings of Symposia in Applied Mathematics. A list of past short courses is available at https://www.ams.org/meetings/short-courses/short-course-general.

Preliminary proposals may be as short as one page, and suggestions and questions are welcome. More detailed guidance is available in the Short Course Manual. Proposals should be sent via email to the Associate Executive Director (aed-mps@ams.org) with a cc to Robin Hagan Aguiar (rha@ams.org). For full consideration for the 2020 Short Courses, proposals should be submitted by December 18, 2018.
