May 31 -- June 2, 1999
As a sequel to the Midrasha Mathematical 1999 program, which is a school in Riemann surface theory, we announce the workshop on Riemann Surface Theory which will focus on current research revolving around the theory of Riemann surfaces.
THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM
The Einstein Institute of Mathematics
and
The Edmund Landau Center for Research in
Mathematical Analysis & Related Areas
will be sponsoring a
Workshop on Riemann Surface Theory
with special emphasis on the Theory of Theta Functions
in honor of the 60th birthday of Hershel Farkas
The workshop will take place on
May 31--June 2, 1999
at the Institute of Mathematics, Givat Ram, Jerusalem
(Lectures will take place in Room 110, Math. Bldg.)
