Spring 2007 Meeting of the
Workshop on Dynamical Systems and Related Topics
in honor of Hillel Furstenberg
in recognition of his long association with
the Maryland mathematics department and his many contributions to
dynamical systems. Note: it has recently been announced that
Hillel Furstenberg will be awarded the Wolf Prize in
Mathematics.
Talks will begin Sunday morning around 9AM and will conclude
Wednesday around noon. In addition, a special colloquium related to
the theme of the conference will be held the previous Friday, March
16, at 3PM. Click here for lodging information.

directions to the math department by car, here for directions from the
three Washington-area airports, and here for directions to the math
department by metro. Note: the university will be on Spring Break
effective Saturday,
so the university shuttle buses may not be running. If you are going
directly to the Quality Inn, you can walk there from the
College
Park Metro Station by going west
along Calvert Road (about 10-15 minutes), or call
the hotel (301-276-1000) for shuttle pickup.
