Subject: CATA-07 Second announcement From: Aniceto Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 13:03:49 +0200 Advanced Courses in Topology CATA-07, Second Announcement In October 29-31, the Department of Algebra, Geometry and Topology of the University of Málaga, Spain, is pleased to host the CATA 07 (Advanced Courses in Topology). 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. The registration (and application for support) period is still open at the web page of this event http://agt.cie.uma.es/~cata-07 Aniceto Murillo Departamento de Algebra, Geometría y Topología Universidad de Málaga, Málaga, SPAIN aniceto@agt.cie.uma.es
