IMA UPDATE: 
Fall 2001

IMA UPDATE, a quarterly notice concerning the activities of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, is now electronic. The UPDATE contains hyperlinks to information about past, present and future IMA programs, as well as links to materials presented at IMA workshops: video, audio, movies, slides, etc. If you received this directly you are on our mailing list. To add, or subtract, your email  address to/from the mailing list, please send a message  to  lathen@ima.umn.edu.

We value your suggestions, and your ideas for future programs. For program guidelines, see http://www.ima.umn.edu/ideas.html
