            | Fields Industrial Optimization Seminar | Supported by  |  
 
        The inaugural meeting of the Fields Industrial Optimization Seminar 
          took place on November 2 at 5:00 p.m.. This series will meet once a 
          month, on the first Tuesday, in the early evening. Each meeting will 
          comprise two related lectures on a topic in optimization; typically, 
          one speaker will be a university-based research and the other from the 
          private or government sector.We welcome the participation of everyone 
          in the academic or industrial community with an interest in optimization 
          -- theory or practice, expert or student.  Please subscribe to the Fields mail list to 
          be informed of upcoming seminars.=================================================
