1st ANNOUNCEMENT OF BWB 2014 First Brazilian Workshop in Geometry of Banach Spaces August 25-29, 2014 Maresias, São Paulo State, Brazil.

This is the 1st announcement for the First Brazilian Workshop in Geometry of Banach Spaces, organized by the University of São Paulo (USP), in the week August 25-29, 2014.

This international conference will take place at the Beach Hotel Maresias, on the coast of São Paulo State, in Maresias. The scientific program will focus on the theory of geometry of Banach spaces, with emphasis on the following directions: linear theory of infinite dimensional spaces and its relations to Ramsey theory, homological theory and set theory; nonlinear theory; and operator theory.
