They followed a plan that had been mapped out by Riemann some 36 years earlier. However, Riemann's goals for understanding the prime numbers are still not realized as the famous Riemann Hypothesis remains a central open question in mathematics. Speakers at this conference will present many of the interesting developments that have arisen from Riemann's original work, with an eye toward understanding future research directions regarding the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and related L-functions. The symposium will start with SPECIAL LECTURE A special historical lecture on the Prime Number Theorem will start the conference and will be given by Professor Atle Selberg on Monday August 12 at 5pm. The following three days will feature other experts interested in the Riemann Hypothesis. SPEAKERS Michael Berry Alain Connes William Duke Dorian Goldfeld Roger Heath-Brown Dennis Hejhal Henryk Iwaniec Nobushige Kurokawa Hugh Montgomery Andrew Odlyzko Samuel Patterson Peter Sarnak In addition there will be a few half-hour talks. BANQUET There will be a banquet on Tuesday night, August 12 at the Faculty Club at the University of Washington. The cost is $35 per person. If you would like to attend, please indicate so when you send your registration information and include the proper amount in the check. REGISTRATION To register, send your name, address, phone number, and affiliation, Riemann Symposium, Attention: Jennifer Gibson, Department of Mathematics, Oklahoma State University. There is no registration fee for those attending the MathFest. There will be a registration fee of $10 per person (on or before July 15) or $20 per person after July 15 for those not attending the MathFest. The check should be made out to Riemann Symposium. FUNDING There will be some funding available from the National Science Foundation. To apply for this funding one should send a brief vita, the name of a reference, and a paragraph describing your interest in the conference. Send this information by e-mail to rh-conf.math.okstate.edu or to the Mathematics Department, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, 74078, care of Jennifer Gibson. HOTEL AND DORM INFORMATION Generally speaking, people should reserve their own accomodations. It is quite likely that many will want to attend the MathFest as well. The dorm accomodations have been set up to mesh with that possibility.
