In addition, the conference will bring many internationally acclaimed researchers working in such an active area to China. It is anticipated that the conference will attract a large number of young researchers in China and from other countries and contribute significantly to the advancement of international applied and computational mathematics community.

This nine-week program program will expose eight qualified mathematics undergraduate students and a K-12 teacher to advanced topics in mathematics, problem-solving techniques and multidisciplinary applications. Selected problems range from Reconstruction of Protein networks and Aneurysm mechanics to Modeling of Micro Air Vehicles, Neuronal field models, Porous substrates and Materials engineering applications. The overall goal of this program is to encourage students and teachers to learn by discovery and enhance their understanding of the multidisciplinary role of mathematics in engineering, science and medicine. The metro region of Washington, DC is a particularly fertile area for research and work opportunities, including consulting, teaching and government. Applicants must be undergraduate students who will be completing their junior year by June 2010. Financial support for students include a stipend of $3,375, free on-campus housing and meals, and a travel allowance up to $550. Students with a strong background in advanced calculus, linear algebra and differential equations are eligible to apply. Women and underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged to apply. Please note that under NSF rules, only U.S. Citizens and permanent residents are eligible to receive stipends and support for housing and travel costs. The deadline for receiving all the application material is *April 2, 2010* and accepted applicants will be notified immediately.
