Thematic Year Optimization Visitors to the Fields Institute
and
Seventh SIAM Conference on Optimization

CRM, and The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, Toront o, Ontario, and PIMS

Information on Accomodation is available.

For example: New College is closest to the Fields; also Banting House is very nice. In addition, there are some one bedroom apts in the area on the web site. Other recommended places are: the Bay and Bloor Executive Suites and the Charlesview Apt. Hotel. I (Henry) have been staying at the Days Inn; it is a ten minute walk from the Fields, has a swimming pool, is currently $89 Can. per night, and is right next to Young Street.
