PreDoc-Course Berlin "Optimization Methods in Discrete Geometry"

[Guenter M. Ziegler]

================================================================
     PreDoc-Course Berlin, April - June 2006
     Optimization Methods in Discrete Geometry
     (organized by Günter M. Ziegler and Thorsten Theobald)
================================================================
   +   reminder: DocCourse Prague, January - March 2006
================================================================

******************   CALL FOR APPLICATIONS   *******************

PhD students and students preparing to enter a PhD program 
in Discrete Mathematics or in Computer Science (in a broad sense)
are invited to participate in a three months study program.
The PreDoc-Course is offered by the International 
Graduate Programs "Combinatorics, Geometry, and Computation" and 
"Methods for Discrete Structures" (funding pending) of the Free 
University, the Humboldt University and the Technical University 
in Berlin, in cooperation with Charles University Prague.

It includes four minicourses with exercise sessions and projects:
  Bernd Gärtner:     Linear Programming Methods
  Komei Fukuda:      Polyhedral Computation
  Thorsten Theobald: Semidefinite Programming Methods
  Ileana Streinu:    Rigidity
and it is connected to various other events in discrete 
mathematics during that time in Berlin 
(including the Symposium on Discrete Mathematics on April 3-4,
see http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~ziegler/dm2006.html ).

The Predoc-Course is free of charge. Moreover, there is a 
limited number of stipends of approximately 1000 EUR per month 
available.

For more information see

  http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~ziegler/doccourse06.html

Application deadlines:
for stipends: January 15, 2006
for participation in the PreDoc-Course: March 15, 2006

For senior researchers: If you know bright students who might be
interested, please encourage them to apply!

The Predoc-Course Berlin is organized in coordination with the 
DocCourse 2006 "Combinatorics, Geometry, and Computation" in Prague
(January-March 2006). For information on that programme 
see http://kam.mff.cuni.cz/~matousek/doccourse06.html
Application deadline: October 20, 2005.
