Program of the Conference Local Accommodations Gala Dinner
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will host a two-day conference, February 21-22, 2003, in honor of the 60th birthday of Dr. E. D. Tymchatyn, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan. Professor Tymchatyn has made many significant contributions, and sponsored numerous post-doctoral students, in his research areas of continuum theory and general topology.
Mathematicians are hereby invited to attend the conference, and to give a 25 minute talk at the conference if they wish. Abstracts may be submitted through the Topology Atlas at http://at.yorku.ca/cgi-bin/amca/submit/caki-01.
Proceedings. It is expected that the proceedings will be refereed and published in Topology and Its Applications.
Registration and Banquet. The registration fee for the conference is $50. This includes the gala dinner banquet at the Birmingham Summit Club. (Ask about the reduced registration fee if you are not attending the banquet.). We have to ascertain the number of attendees for the banquet as closely as possible in advance. Email John Mayer for advance reservations. Please note that the Summit Club has a dress code: business casual.
