| Speakers | Schedule of Talks | Hotels |

The Spring 2003 Midwest Partial Differential Equations Seminar will be held at the University of Illinois at Chicago, April 11-13, 2003. There will be two talks on Friday afternoon, six talks on Saturday and three on Sunday morning. On Saturday, there will also be time for a discussion to consider the directions that partial differential equations might most profitably take in the next years. A summary of the discussion will be communicated to the NSF.

Schedule of Talks

All Lectures will be in Lecture Center E1
