The 2016 Fields Medal Symposium will be centered on the work of Manjul Bhargava (Fields Medal 2014), and its current and potential impact.

The Symposium comprises three separate events:

Scientific Program (November 1-4): aimed at a wide audience, including graduate students, mathematicians in other research areas, and scientists who use mathematics in an important way. The video archive for the Scientific Program is available here.
Public Opening (November 1): includes a lecture for a general audience by Manjul Bhargava followed by a reception.
Student Night (November 2): geared towards high school and undergraduate students with a lecture by Manjul Bhargava followed by a networking reception. Pizza will be served.

All events will be broadcast live online whenever approval of the speaker has been obtained.

Registration Instruction:

The Fields Medal Symposium is free to attend but registration is required.

See the sidebar to register for the Scientific Program.

The sidebar link will also give you the option to register for the Public Opening and/or the Student Night.
