The meeting features a series of lectures by Neil Strickland
(Cambridge)
on subjects related to his preprint ``Functorial Philosophy for
Formal Phenomena'', available from the Hopf archive, including
The Big Picture, and applications.
Each lecture will take place in Room J11 of the Hicks Building,
Hounsfield Road, Sheffield; Tea and Coffee will be served in
the common room I15.
From the rail station you can catch the number
60 bus, and get off where it crosses the ring road. Or take
the supertram to the University stop.
Rooms can be booked at The Rutland Hotel (0114) 266 4411, but do book
very soon, as space is limited; mention Sheffield University, and
let me (jpcg) know what you have done.
[Warning: I will be out of Sheffield 28/4/96-26/5/96, although
my usual email address will continue to work.]
Further details may be obtained from John Greenlees
(j.greenlees@sheffield.ac.uk) or
from either of the other organisers John Hunton (jrh7@mcs.le.ac.uk)
and Nige Ray (nige@ma.man.ac.uk).
The meeting is partially supported by a Scheme 3 grant from the
London Mathematical Society and by the University of Sheffield.
