  • 2016 Class of the Fellows of the AMS
    2016 Class of the Fellows of the AMS Fifty mathematical scientists from around the world have been named Fellows of the American Mathematical So- ciety (AMS) for 2016. The Fellows of the American Mathematical Society program recognizes members who have made outstanding contributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics. Among the goals of the program are to create an enlarged class of mathematicians recognized by their peers as distinguished for their contributions to the profession and to honor excellence. The 2016 class of Fellows was honored at a dessert reception held during the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Seattle, Washington. Names of the individuals who are in this year’s class, their institutions, and citations appear below. The nomination period for Fellows is open each year from February 1 to March 31. For additional information about the Fellows program, as well as instructions for making nominations, visit the web page www.ams.org/ profession/ams-fellows.

  • Final Report (PDF)
    Recent Advances in Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics Sara Billey (University of Washington), Ian Goulden (University of Waterloo), Curtis Greene (Haverford College), David Jackson (University of Waterloo), Richard Stanley (MIT). May 3{May 8, 2003 1 A short overview of the subject area Algebraic and enumerative combinatorics is concerned with objects that have both a combinato- rial and an algebraic interpretation. It is a highly active area of the mathematical sciences, with many connections and applications to other areas, including algebraic geometry, representation the- ory, topology, mathematical physics and statistical mechanics. Enumerative questions arise in the mathematical sciences for a variety of reasons. For example, non-combinatorial structures often have a discrete substructure when they are studied up to topological equivalence. Moreover, some non-combinatorial structures can be discretized, and are therefore susceptible to combinatorial tech- niques, and the original question is then recovered by the appropriate limit taking (the dimer problem in statistical mechanics is an instance of this). Algebraic and enumerative combinatorics is a highly active area of the mathematical sciences, and was the subject of a special year at MSRI in 1996/97, organized by Billera, Bjorner, Greene, Stanley and Simion. The one week workshop at BIRS focussed on three topics, discussed in detail below, in which substantial progress has been made in the last five years. The topics are interrelated, as is essential for a workshop of this length. The workshop was successful in bringing together a very strong international collection of active researchers in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, as well as other areas of the mathematical sciences in which substantial enumerative questions with a strong algebraic or analytic foundation have arisen.
