Conference

Today Friday and tomorrow Saturday we are having a conference. We celebrate the centenary of Wilhelm Magnus, the founder of the New York Group Theory Seminar, around 1950, continuing up to this day, and being one of the oldest seminars continuously running in the US. We have a few of the best mathematicians of our field, giving talks and sharing memories of Magnus. You can see one of the speakers in the picture, and visit the conference website.
