Conference Announcement: ``Banach spaces and their applications in Analysis'', in honor of Nigel Kalton's 60th birthday, to be held May 22-27, 2006 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio (which is about 30 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio). We plan to emphasize the following themes: -- Nonlinear theory (Lipschitz classifications of Banach and metric spaces and related topics), -- Isomorphic theory of Banach spaces including connections with combinatorics and set theory, -- Algebraic and homological methods in Banach spaces, -- Approximation theory and algorithms in Banach spaces (greedy algorithms, interpolation etc.), -- Functional calculus and applications to Partial Differential Equations. The following people have agreed to be principal speakers at the conference: Yuri Brudnyi (Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel) Jesús M. F. Castillo (University of Extremadura, Spain) Marianna Csörnyei (University College, London, UK) Stephen Dilworth (University of South Carolina) Gilles Godefroy (Universitè Paris VI, France) William B.
