A brief
history
Every year the department of Mathematical
Sciences at the University
of Arkansas hosts a
conference called the Spring Lectures Series in the Mathematical Sciences.
These annual conferences focus on topics that are at the forefront of current
international research while being related to the research activity within
the department. Thanks to the continued support through the years, this
series of conferences has grown into a very effective vehicle for the
dissemination of information concerning research in mathematics and a forum
for the discussion of new open problems. Through accessible and enlightening
public lectures, the Spring Lecture Series is developing a reputation in the
wider community as an exciting outreach program. The series has been running
since 1977, and a brief history of the series can be seen at http://www.uark.edu/depts/mathinfo/activities/SpringLecture.html.
In recent years the Series has been honored
to have researchers of the caliber of David Donoho, Emmanuel Candes, Andrew
Casson, Michael Christ, Carlos Kenig, Luis Caffarelli, John Milnor, Efim
Zelmanov, Cameron Gordon, Nigel Kalton and Jerrold Marsden, who acted as
Principal Lecturers.
