Midwest Several Complex Variables Conference

October 10-12, 2009

The field of several complex variables includes a diverse array of ideas and researchers, with a traditionally strong representation in the Midwest. To foster collaborations within this group and with visitors from farther away, the Department of Mathematics at Purdue University will host a conference in several complex variables in the fall of 2009.
