Mathematical Sciences: 7th Summer Conference on General Topology & Applications: Mary Ellen Rudin & Her Work; to be held June 26-29, 1991 in Madison, Wisconsin

玛丽埃伦鲁丁在这个领域有着巨大的影响力 集理论拓扑，特别是自出版以来，她 在美国的一个地区会议上就这一问题发表演讲 1972年，数学学会。 她退休的时候- 仅仅是从教学，而不是从研究或沟通， 知识-提供了一个机会，以反思该领域 它在哪里，它应该去哪里。 机制 建议召开一次会议，邀请许多演讲者参加， 讨论正是这些问题的子领域，其中鲁丁 参与了很大一部分 其中很大一部分 一般拓扑学领域的最高成就。 鲁丁1972年的演讲集 议程集理论拓扑超过10年;这 会议，致力于玛丽埃伦鲁丁和她的工作，要举行 1991年6月，在威斯康星州大学， 类似的刺激效果。

Mary Ellen Rudin has exercised enormous influence on the field of set-theoretic topology, especially since the publication of her lectures on the subject at a regional conference of the American Mathematical Society in 1972. The occasion of her retirement - merely from teaching, not from research or the communication of knowledge - provides an opportunity to reflect on where the field has been, where it is, and where it should be going. The mechanism proposed is a conference at which many of the invited speakers will discuss precisely these questions for the subfields in which Rudin has been significantly involved. These comprise a large fraction of the entire field of general topology. Rudin's 1972 lectures set the agenda for set-theoretic topology for more than 10 years; this conference, dedicated to Mary Ellen Rudin and her work, to be held at the University of Wisconsin in June, 1991, should have a similarly stimulating effect.
