Several organizations or special groups are having receptions or other social events. Please see Social Events. Association for Symbolic Logic (ASL) This two-day program on Tuesday and Wednesday will include Invited Address and sessions of contributed papers. The following speakers will give invited addresses; titles, days, and times will be listed in the program. Michael Benedikt, Lucent Technology/Bell Labs (Naperville,
IL); See also the Special Session jointly sponsored by ASL in Joint Sessions. Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Twenty-Second Annual Emmy Noether Lecture, Monday, 9:00 a.m. 9:50 a.m., Lenore C. Blum, Carnegie Mellon University, Computing over the Reals: Where Turing Meets Newton. A dinner in honor of the lecturer will be held on Sunday evening. See the "Social Events" section for details on how to participate. Mathematics after High School: How to Promote Success for More, Sunday, 3:20 p.m. 4:20 p.m., organized by Catherine B. Kessel, University of California Berkeley, Suzanne M. Lenhart, University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Teri Jo Murphy, University of Oklahoma. At the conclusion of the panel discussion, AWM will recognize the Alice T. Schafer prizewinner, runner-up, and honorable mention honorees. Note that formal prizewinner announcements are made at the Joint Prize Session on Monday afternoon (see the AWM inclusion in the "Joint Sessions" section at the beginning of this announcement). Business Meeting, Sunday, 4:20 p.m. 4:50 p.m. Workshop, Wednesday, 8:30 a.m.5:00 p.m. With funding from the Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation (pending final funding approval), AWM will conduct its workshop for women graduate students and women who have received the Ph.D. within the last five years. Twenty women mathematicians have been selected in advance of this workshop to present their research. The selected graduate students will present posters, and the recent Ph.D.'s will give 20-minute talks. Travel funds are provided to the twenty selected presenters. The workshop will also include a panel discussion on issues of career development and a luncheon. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with other women mathematicians at all stages of their careers. All mathematicians (female and male) are invited to attend the entire program. Departments are urged to help graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s who do not receive funding to obtain some institutional support to attend the workshop and the associated meetings. The deadline for applications for presenting and funding has expired. Inquiries regarding future workshops may be made to AWM by telephone: 301-405-7892, by e-mail: awm@math.umd.edu, or by visiting http://www.awm-math.org/. AWM seeks volunteers to lead discussion groups and to act as mentors for workshop participants. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the AWM office.
