Overview

Organizers:

David Dobson	The University of Utah
Barbara Keyfitz	University of Houston
C. Eugene Wayne	Boston University

The IMA opened its doors with its first annual program during 1982-83 and now, tens of thousands of scientific visits later, we are in our 20th year. Over these two decades, the IMA has had a tremendous effect on the advancement and impact of mathematics. This two-day conference will feature talks by leading practitioners in fields of mathematics and applications where the IMA has played a major role. The overview talks will be aimed at a broad and diverse mathematical audience.

In addition, the IMA held an open house and a public lecture on June 5 by Charles S. Peskin on the topic of "Secrets of the Heart Revealed - by Mathematics and Computer Simulation", and a special lunch for former postdocs on June 7.
