Hopkins Hosts International Math
Conference
Mathematicians from around the world will meet at The Johns
Hopkins University on March 31 for an annual four-day conference.
The theme of this year's conference is linear and non-linear
scattering, a popular area of specialty that has many theoretical
as well as physical applications, including quantum mechanics.
The annual conference is co-sponsored by the Department of
Mathematics and the Japan-U.S. Mathematics Institute (JAMI), an
exchange program that allows Japanese mathematicians to come to
Hopkins to do research and become acquainted with math professors
here.
The program will be preceded on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
by an informal workshop dealing with scattering theory. The
actual conference begins Friday, March 31, and continues through
Monday. About 20 mathematicians will deliver lectures, which will
be held in 205 Krieger Hall.
The program began in 1988 and is intended to foster friendly
relations between Japan and the United States and to strengthen
the long-existing relationship between the math department and
the Japanese mathematical community. For more information contact
the math department at 516-4178 (or by e-mail:
jami@math.jhu.edu).
