The Main Themes of the Workshop

 

The workshop will focus on the mathematical problems involving complicated systems, such as chaotic dynamical systems, polynomial systems, eigenvalue computation, homotopy methods and large scale computation.
		We will use the occasion to celebrate Professor Tien-Yien Li's 70th birthday, recognize his major contributions to mathematics, and reflect his strong influence on his students, postdocs, collaborators and colleagues throughout his inspiring career.

Venue

The workshop will be held at the Michigan State University Wells Hall.

Travel

The local airport is Lansing Airport (Code: LAN), and the major airport hub near the Lansing area is Detroit Airport (Code: DTW). Many flights to LAN are either from DTW or Chicago.

Zonggang Zeng (z-zeng@neiu.edu) will provide a ride between Chicago and Lansing on around July 4. It may be easier to arrange a trip to Chicago and take his ride to Lansing. Let him know if you plan to do so. His car has 5 seats.

If you are going through Detroit, then you may either fly to LAN, or rent a car, or take the Michigan Flyer shuttle bus from Detroit to East Lansing. The Michigan Flyer shuttle bus terminal at East Lansing is close to the Wells Hall where the workshop is going to be held; this bus has wifi on board.

There are two other nearby airports: the Grand Rapids airport (Code: GRR) and the Flint Airport (Code: FNT). They are all in one-hour driving distance to East Lansing. If you choose to use one of these two airports, then you need to rent a car.
