The second meeting, on Tuesday 26th May, is in honour of GrahamJameson on the occasion of his retirement, celebrating his many significant contributions to the department and the wider mathematical community during his 35-year career in Lancaster. There will be six invited one-hour talks given by the following speakers:
- Timothy Feeman (Villanova, USA), - Richard Haydon (Oxford, UK), - Rafal Latala (Warsaw, Poland), - Edward W. Odell, (Texas, USA), - Charles J. Read (Leeds, UK), and - Thomas Schlumprecht (Texas A&M, USA).
This meeting is supported by a London Mathematical Society Scheme 1 conference grant. There is support available for UK graduate students; the deadline for applications for such support is 1st May.
