The YITP is proud to present the program of confirmed speakers
listed below. These participants represent all of the Institute's four decades, from the
nineteen sixties to the present.
Scientific sessions will be held
May 3 -- 5 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday).
All talks are scheduled for 20 minutes, and all sessions
will be plenary, and held in room MT S-240
(on the sub-level of the Math Tower). A detailed schedule
of the daily talks will be posted about a week before the Symposium.
The wide variety of subjects reflects the
breadth and sweep of ITP/YITP alumni's current interests, past achievements
and experiences.
