ELWS WORKSHOP REMINDER: Writing a Thesis or Grant Proposal
Graduate students write many proposals—federal grant proposals, travel grant proposals, thesis proposals—and every proposal has a potentially significant impact on a student’s ability to carry out specific research. This workshop provides an overview of proposal writing designed to get students thinking about the demands of, and the predictable variations in, this important genre of writing. We will examine the similarities and differences between thesis and grant proposals, consider the main questions that most proposals must answer, and see examples of answers to those questions in successful proposals. We will also consider common pitfalls in proposal writing, and strategies for getting started on writing a proposal.
Instructor: Dr. Jane Freeman
Place and Time: Tuesday, October 2, 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., Koffler House, 569 Spadina Avenue, Room 108
This free workshop is presented by the School of Graduate Studies’ Office of English Language and Writing Support and requires no prior registration to attend.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
In the Fall 2012 the Simons Center will be hosting a Graduate Workshop on Symplectic and Contact Topology. The workshop will be organized by Drs. Mohammed Abouzaid (Columbia) and Yakov Eliashberg (Stanford), and will be held from October 15 – 19, 2012 at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics.
This workshop is open for applications, and we encourage all to apply to attend, and for financial/travel assistance. Please feel free to pass this message along to anyone you feel may be of interest. To apply to this workshop, please click here: http://scgp.stonybrook.edu/apply
This graduate student workshop will be associated with the program in Symplectic Topology at the Center during the Fall of 2012. The workshop will be organized by Yakov Eliashberg and Mohammed Abouzaid (both in residence at the Center for the Fall semester). There have been tremendous advances in Symplectic Topology and Contact Topology over the last 10 years with the introduction of Floer theory and symplectic field theory. Symplectic (co)homology is one of the simplest invariants to arise out of these deveopments, and has, since its introduction, been responsible for several breakthroughs in symplectic topology (construction of exotic symplectic structures and study of Lagrangian embedding), contact dynamics (Weinstein conjecture on the existence of Reeb orbits) and mirror symmetry (construction of mirrors of Lie group action). The goal of this workshop is to introduce graduate students to developments in the study of the symplectic topology of Stein manifolds via pseudo-h olomorphic curves, with a focus on symplectic cohomology. The first part of the workshop will consist of student lectures about the basics of holomorphic curves and Floer homology, culminating in the construction of symplectic cohomology, and its computation in the simplest examples. These lectures will be followed by lectures by the organizers and others senior mathematicians in residence who will provide perspective on the applications of the theory, and its interaction with related mathematical fields.

Dear Mathematics Graduate and Postgraduate staff,
On Friday, July 27th and Saturday, July 28th, the IHPST is running a workshop entitled: “Cultures in Mathematics” with the University of Toronto’s Prof. James Brown as the keynote speaker. I am organising that workshop, and based on our registrations so far, we have space for a few more bodies. Graduate students and postdoc fellows in mathematics, as well as history, philosophy and sociology of science, are welcome to attend. However, they will need to register with me by Friday morning so that I can arrange catering by the evening. Please forward this invite to those whom you believe might be interested to attend the workshop. Interested participants can register by emailing me at josipa.petrunic@utoronto.ca
A link to the workshop can be found here: http://www.cshpm.org/calendar/
Sincerely, Josipa Petrunic

Subject: Summer 2012: Workshop in Analysis and Probability
To:
Workshop in Analysis and Probability
Department of Mathematics
Texas A&M University
Summer 2012
The Summer 2012 Workshop in Analysis and Probability at Texas A&M University will be in session from July 2 until August 10, 2012. For information about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, whose NEW URL is
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~kerr/workshop/
The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held August 3-5.
July 16 – 19 there will be a Concentration Week on “Frame Theory and Maps Between Operator Algebras”,
organized by Chris Heil, Emily J. King (chair), Keri Kornelson, David Larson (local organizer), and Darrin Speegle. A researcher working in frame theory will naturally be led to consider matrices (the Gram matrix, the analysis operator and the synthesis operator), and many problems in frame theory have a re-casting in operator theory. The most celebrated example of this is the Kadison-Singer problem. By now, there are many mathematicians familiar with the basics of the two areas, and there is a fruitful collaboration. Less obvious is the relationship between frame theory and maps between operator algebras. Very recent work in this area by Han, Larson, Lu, and Lu indicate that this may be a relationship that is ripe for exploiting. The goal of this concentration week is to bring together researchers in these two fields so that they may learn from one another and build networks of potential collaborators. There will be introductory series of talks on “Frame theory” by Ole Christensen, on “Maps on Operator Algebras” by Vern Paulsen, and on “Bridging the Gap Between Frame Theory and Maps on Operator Algebras” by Deguang Han. This concentration week will also lead into a separate conference on the following weekend celebrating the 70th birthday of David Larson. The home page for this Workshop is at
http://page.math.tu-berlin.de/~king/cw.html
August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on “Recent advances in Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory”,
organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and Alexei Poltoratski. This CW is designed to bring together two groups of experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to widen further participation in this area in the United States. Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana Jitomirskaya (to be confirmed), Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation that some the participants in the larger Workshop will be attracted to this program and inject new ideas into the area.
The home page for this Workshop is at
http://www.math.tamu.edu/~comech/events/hast-2012/
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend.
