Description: This award is for the support of participation by eight US mathematicians to participate in the `International Conference on Mathematics and Its Applications` to be held at Birzeit University (BZU), in the West Bank. The organizers are Dr. Saber Elaydi of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and Dr. Fathi Allan, Professor of Mathematics at Birzeit University. The meeting is planned for August 20-23, 1998. The meeting is expected to be attended by more than 200 mathematicians from most Middle Eastern countries. The focus will be on recent developments in mathematical analysis and applications, technology and curriculum development in undergraduate education. The proceedings will be published by an international publisher. Scope: This project will support participation by US mathematicians in the first such meeting to be held in a Palestinian academic institution. The meeting will provide a forum for the Palestinian and US mathematicians to interact at an important juncture in the development of the region. It is expected that the interactions during this meeting will lead to identification of potential collaboration between US and Palestinian mathematicians in research, and in mathematics education in developing countries. The participation of the US is critical for the success of this undertaking because of the leading role that US mathematicians have in research and education. The project will be of mutual benefit to the United States and to the West Bank as well as to other participants. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs. The Division of International Programs and the Division of Mathematical Sciences jointly support this award.

说明：该奖项旨在支持八位美国数学家参加在约旦河西岸比尔宰特大学（BZU）举行的“国际数学及其应用会议”。 组织者是德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市三一大学的 Saber Elaydi 博士和比尔泽特大学数学教授 Fathi Allan 博士。 会议计划于1998年8月20日至23日举行。预计将有来自大多数中东国家的200多名数学家参加。 重点将关注本科教育中数学分析和应用、技术和课程开发的最新发展。 会议记录将由国际出版商出版。 范围：该项目将支持美国数学家参加在巴勒斯坦学术机构举行的首次此类会议。 这次会议将为巴勒斯坦和美国数学家在该地区发展的重要时刻提供一个互动的论坛。 预计本次会议期间的互动将确定美国和巴勒斯坦数学家在研究和发展中国家数学教育方面的潜在合作。 美国的参与对于这项事业的成功至关重要，因为美国数学家在研究和教育方面发挥着主导作用。 该项目将使美国、西岸以及其他参与者互惠互利。 该项目非常符合国际项目部的目标。 该奖项由国际部和数学科学部共同支持。
