Complex Analysis and Complex Geometry

The Banff International Research Station will host the "Complex Analysis and Complex Geometry" workshop next week, May 31 - June 5, 2009. Complex analysis and complex geometry is an active area of modern mathematics. It interacts with many other areas of mathematics and has applications in physics and engineering. Forty experts from many countries have gathered in Banff to report on recent progress in the area and discuss open problems.

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the US National Science Foundation (NSF), Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology, and Mexico's Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologí­a (CONACYT).
