Dear Friends,

This is the second announcement for the CBMS conference on 'A Probabilistic and Combinatorial Approach in Analysis', with Professor Mark Rudelson from the University of Missouri as the main speaker. The conference will be held at the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Kent State University in August 6-10 2006, followed by the conference on Analysis and Applications in August 11-12. We hope that you will be able to participate. Please, let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in attending. Please also find more information below:

1)With CBMS funding we will be able to cover the local expenses for most of the participants. We NEED to know if you wish to have a dormitory room. We hasten to mention that the dormitory is brand-spanking new, modern and, we expect, comfortable as well as conveniently located near to the site of the lectures.

Please, let us know as soon as possible if you would prefer to stay in a hotel or need any other special housing arrangements. (This may require additional payment towards the housing costs.)

2) We NEED to know your travel arrangements; in particular, when are you arriving, by what means are you traveling and, if by air, PLEASE furnish us with complete details. The nearest airports are Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE) or Akron Canton Regional Airport (CAK). We wish to be sure to have someone at the correct airport to meet and greet you, take you to Kent, check you into your domicile, and help you settle in.

3) Along with this information we'll NEED to know how long you will be with us. Mark Rudelson's lectures are scheduled from August 6 at 11:00AM until August 10 at 4pm. You may check in to your room as early as August 5. On August 11-12 we will have additional lectures by participants and we welcome all of you to submit an abstract and title via e-mail as soon as possible.

The check-out date for the dormitory rooms is August 13.

4) Please note that that breakfast and lunch will be provided by the conference, and we will send you a list of additional fun events and excitements in Kent and Cleveland soon.

5) All this information will be also provided on
