================== WORKSHOPS AT BANFF IN 2007 ===================
MSRI is a partner in operating the Banff International Research Station
(BIRS). More information can be accessed at http://www.pims.math.ca/birs/
During the 48-week scientific program BIRS runs either a full workshop (40
people for 5 days) or two half-workshops (20 people for 5 days). BIRS
provides meals, accommodation, and research facilities at no cost to the
organizers and to the invited participants.
===================== ARCHIMEDES SOCIETY ========================
The Archimedes Society helps MSRI to implement important programs and,
diversify and plan its future funding. Archimedes Society donor levels
celebrate interesting numbers. For example, the Plato Donor level of $1,922
to $5,040 references The Laws, in which Plato asserts that a suitable number
of citizens for the ideal city would be that number that contained the most
numerous and most consecutive subdivisions. He decided on 5,040, a number
with 59 divisors (apart from itself). All Archimedes Society donors are
invited at no or reduced cost to special events, and are offered reserved
seating and special post-event receptions. Donors at the Museion level
($5,041+) are invited to two dinner/lectures in Berkeley and one in New
York. To join the Archimedes Society, please go to
http://www.msri.org/alumdev/archimedes/index_html
MSRI would also welcome mention in your Will or Living Trust. Visit
http://www.msri.org/alumdev/ways/plannedgifts for more information. Please
notify MSRIs Development Director, Jim Sotiros, at JSotiros@msri.org or
510-643-6056 when you have done so, and you will be recognized in the MSRI
Gauss Society. The first meeting of the Gauss Society took place on Jan. 6,
2007 at a dinner recognizing members at Galatoires restaurant in New
Orleans during the Joint Meetings. Please join the Gauss Society, and plan
on joining us next year in San Diego.
===================== K-12 MATH EDUCATION =======================
MSRI assists with several math circle programs for middle and high school
students in the Bay Area. The Berkeley Math Circle meets weekly at UC
Berkeley (see http://mathcircle.berkeley.edu/), and the San Francisco Math
Circle and Circle for Teachers has weekly meetings at SF State University
(see http://www.sfmathcircle.org/index.html).
If you are interested in starting or supporting a Math Circle MSRI offers
mini grants to support mathematicians and other university faculty who would
like to start a Math Circle program in their local community. For
information on how to apply, please see
http://www.msri.org/calendar/attachments/announcements/105/MinigrantMathcircleRFP.pdf
