The Department of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College will host the 9th

annual Mathematics Conference on Friday-Saturday, September 28-29, 2007

in Claremont, California. The topic this year is:

PUBLIC SECTOR OPERATIONS RESEARCH

There will be five keynote speakers:

SPEAKERS:

* Arnold Barnett (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

* Margaret Brandeau (Stanford University)

* Richard C. Larson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

* Eva K. Lee (Georgia Institute of Technology)

* Stephanie Snyder (USDA Forest Service)

There will be a contributed POSTER SESSION for research related to the

conference theme of operations research in the public sector (topics

need not

match those of the plenary talks). Abstracts should be submitted by

September 3.

Also, pending funding, we may be able to provide some TRAVEL SUPPORT to

non-local graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s. For more information,

registration, abstract submission, or to apply for travel support, see

PLEASE pass this information on to interested colleagues and students.

Harvey Mudd College is a private, liberal arts undergraduate institution

of science, engineering and mathematics. The Department of Mathematics

at Harvey Mudd College recently received the 2006 Award for an Exemplary

Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department from the American

Mathematical Society. The college enrolls about 700 students of high

ability; a third of them are National Merit Finalists and each year

there are over 35 graduates in mathematics, with approximately half

going on to graduate school. HMC is a member of the Claremont College

consortium, which includes four other undergraduate colleges (Pomona,

Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Pitzer) and two graduate institutions

(Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute), forming an

academic community of about 5000 students. There is an active research

community of over 40 mathematicians in Claremont, with faculty seminars

in analysis, topology, algebra and combinatorics, and applied mathematics.

Claremont is situated approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los

Angeles, in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains. The community is

known for its tree-lined streets and village charm. It is an easy drive

from Claremont to the cultural attractions of the greater Los Angeles

area, as well as the ocean, mountains and deserts of southern California.
