The meeting is sponsored by PIms (The Pacific Institute of the Mathematical Sciences), by Simon Fraser University and by CECM (the Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics). As a result there is NO registration fee.
The meeting will take place in room 1700 at Harbour Centre (515 West Hastings Street) which is the downtown campus of Simon Fraser. There will be self-hosted dinners at local restaurants on both Friday and Saturday evenings. We are particularly keen to encourage graduate students to participate.
Participants who arrive in time for dinner on Friday should come to the Harbour Centre campus (floor plan, directions and downtown map, and parking map) of Simon Fraser (515 West Hastings Street) between 5:00 and 6:30 on Friday where informal arrangements for dinner will be made. Otherwise participants should come for the talks on Saturday morning.
On Saturday May 2, there will be a self-hosting dinner at Cafe Presto Panini, 859 Hornby Street, Vancouver, 684-4445. (Menu)
