AbstractAward: DMS-0441170Principal Investigator: David EisenbudThe Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) is a nationalresearch institute that seeks to further mathematical researchthrough broadly based programs in the mathematical sciences andclosely related activities on widely ranging topics. TheInstitute operates without permanent faculty and conducts longprograms (half- or full-year), conferences, and introductoryworkshops aimed at students and postdoctoral researchers. MSRIcontributes to the development of the mathematical sciencesworkforce through postdoctoral appointments to the long programs,summer graduate programs, and administration of the Bay AreaMathematical Olympiad and Berkeley Math Circles. Outreach andcommunication efforts include public lectures in the SanFrancisco Bay area, sponsorship of films on mathematics, andsystematic Web video delivery of recorded MSRI lectures.The MSRI Web site at http://www.msri.org/ describes upcoming andpast programs, solicits ideas for future programs, and offersapplication forms for Institute activities.
