This conference will reflect Robert MacPherson's lifelong passion for geometry, his broad range of mathematical
interests, and his commitment to students and young mathematicians. The lectures are expected to be addressed
to a wide audience.
Some funds are available for travel and accommodation for students and young mathematicians attending the conference.
To apply for support send a statement with a description of interests and accomplishments to Michelle Huguenin,
(huguenin@ias.edu), at the Institute for Advanced Study, School of Math, Einstein Drive, Princeton, NJ 08540.
In addition, have a letter of recommendation by a mathematician, who knows you, in your field, and your
CV sent to the same address.
REGISTRATION FOR THE MEALS IS REQUIRED. (Speakers do not need to register.)
