DMS-0211446Ralph D. KoppermanTopology, which grew from Geometry, is the study of shapes and theirbehavior under deformation, and of limits. It is an important field in itsown right and has applications in other fields of Mathematics, and also ina wide range of other sciences including Computer Science, Chemistry,Physics and Biology. The Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications was first heldin New York in 1984; it has been held each summer since then, except 1986.For most of its existence this series of conferences has been an importantpart of the international topological landscape. Most of the participantshave been Americans, but an increasing number come from across the world.Until 1994, all these conferences were held in the United States, but toencourage and support worldwide participation, that year the Conferencewas held in Amsterdam, and it has since been held in Mexico City and NorthBay (Ontario); about half of the future Summer Conferences are expected tobe held in the United States. The holding of the conference in thesouthern hemisphere for the first time, in New Zealand, recognises thetopological strength of that country. It is also expected that this willlead to increased participation in the conference series by topologistsfrom south-east Asia and Australia. This year the conference will be held at the University of Auckland,New Zealand, July 1 to 4.

DMS-0211446Ralph D. KoppermanTopology是从几何学发展而来的，它研究形状及其在变形和极限下的行为。它本身就是一个重要的领域，在数学的其他领域也有应用，也在广泛的其他科学，包括计算机科学，化学，物理学和生物学。 拓扑学及其应用夏季会议于1984年首次在纽约举行，此后除1986年外每年夏季举行。大多数与会者是美国人，但越来越多的人来自世界各地。直到1994年，所有这些会议都在美国举行，但为了鼓励和支持全球参与，当年会议在阿姆斯特丹举行，此后又在墨西哥城和北湾（安大略）举行;未来大约一半的夏季会议预计将在美国举行。这次会议首次在南半球的新西兰举行，体现了新西兰的地理优势。预计这也将使东南亚和澳大利亚的拓扑学家更多地参加这一系列会议。 今年的会议将于7月1日至4日在新西兰的奥克兰大学举行。有关会议的更多详细信息，请访问会议网站http://www.math.auckland.ac.nz/Topology-2002/
