Description
One of the aims of this workshop is to present basic notions from random matrix theory, with a particular focus on providing background material so that all participants can interact successfully with more experienced and senior researchers involved in the program. Many of the senior participants are experts in one area of random matrix theory and have less familiarity with techniques and results from other related topics. We hope this workshop will broaden the knowledge of all participants so that they migth more fully interact with all aspects of the program. In conjunction with this we plan on organizing discussion sessions in which to explore open problems and directions of research which will emerge during the week-long workshop held the preceding week. Accommodations: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Rose Garden Inn. Reservations may be made by calling 1-800-992-9005 OR directly on their website. Click on Corporate at the bottom of the screen and when prompted enter code MATH (this code is not case sensitive). By using this code a new calendar will appear and will show MSRI rate on all room types available. The cut-off date for reservations is August 27, 2010. New, completely renovated Hotel Shattuck Plaza has rooms available for you! MSRI’s preferred rate is $131. Guests can either call the hotel’s main line, 510-845-7300, and ask for the MSRI rate or go to http://www.hotelshattuckplaza.com, click on "Corporate Rates" in the reservation screen and type the code msri10.
