Program on Singularity Theory and Geometry
January 1 - June 30, 1997
Description
In 1997 The Fields Institute will sponsor a program in Singularity Theory and Geometry. All activities will take place during the period January to June 1997 at The Fields Institute in Toronto. The program will include workshops and graduate courses and several lecture series and seminars. The participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows will be an integral part of the program's activities. (All activities of The Fields Institute are subject to availability of funds.)
