Subject: Advanced Courses in Topology (FOR TOPLIST) From: Aniceto Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:38:36 +0200 On the occasion of the XIV Spanish Topology Meeting, to be held in Granada (Spain) in November 1-3, and closely coordinaated with that event, the University of Málaga is pleased to host in October 29-31 the "CATA 07 Advanced Courses on Topology and Applications". http://agt.cie.uma.es/~cata We have scheduled two minicourses, "Topology and Robotics" (Michael Farber, University of Durham) and "Competing Species and Homeomorphisms of the Disc" (Rafael Ortega, Universidad de Granada) whose purpose is to highlight the new interactions of topology with areas in which topological methods have been recently and successfully applied. For that reason, and as part of the subjects to be treated may not be very close to what a topologist is used to, these courses are directed to a broad audience: from the young doctor or graduate student with some knowledge of topology to the well established topologist interested in the application of topological tools to new and unexpected areas.
