Learning Days.   Each learning day will begin with an hour-long overview lecture. The rest of the day will be filled with half-hour lectures on background material. Interested participants will be assigned topics for these lectures. References will be posted soon.
Registration.   If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Laura DeMarco (demarco@math.uic.edu) with the following information:
  1. Do you plan to attend the full week or only the conference days?
  2. Would you like to give one of the background lectures? If so, on what topic?
  3. Are you a student or postdoc or other? If a student, please provide a few words about your background.
  4. Do you need funding?
If you would like to attend the full week, and especially if you would like to give one of the background lectures, please register by Monday, March 1, 2010. Space is limited, and of course funding is limited. We can assist speakers with travel and accomodation (details are still being worked out).
Local information.   Hotel and transportation information coming soon.
