Through the BIRS workshop I attended, I was able to meet Peter Hydon from the University of Surrey in England for the first time. His talk was directly connected with recent research at UBC. I was also to make further connections with developers of MAPLE software (DE solvers) which is connected with current research activity with PDF Raouf Dridi at UBC. Greg Reid is to be commended for the excellent way in which he led and organized the workshop.

The workshop was excellent, with so many interesting and nice talks. I found it very helpful to my current work. The organizers had done a great job.
