MAMLS at CCNY:
NONSTANDARD SET THEORY AND RELATED TOPICS
The City College of CUNY, New York, NY
Friday, December 1 and Saturday, December 2, 2000
ORGANIZERS: Karel Hrbacek (CCNY) and Mauro Di Nasso (Univ. of Pisa and CCNY)
A meeting of MAMLS (Mid-Atlantic Mathematical Logic Seminar) devoted to recent
developments in the axiomatic approaches to the foundations of Nonstandard
Analysis and related topics will take place at City College of New York, 138th

ACCOMODATIONS:
Unfortunately accommodations in Manhattan are in short supply and VERY
expensive, especially before Christmas. We strongly recommend you to make
reservations immediately. Of course there are many high quality hotels in NYC
to choose from (consider around 250$ or more per night). The hotels listed
below are probably among the least expensive available, around 100$ per night.
Some have shared bathrooms. One could cut expenses further by sharing a room.
MALIBU HOTEL, 2688 Broadway / 103rd St., 212-222-2954
WEST SIDE INN, 237 W 107th St., 212-866-0061
GRAND UNION HOTEL, 34 E 32nd St., 212-683-5890
LARCHMONT HOTEL, 27 W 11th St., 212-989-9333
HOTEL NEWTON, 2528 Broadway / 95th St., 212-678-6500
For the young at heart, the least expensive option (about 30$) is a dormitory
bed in one of the hostels (some have 2-bed dorms). Here too an early
reservation is highly recommended.
NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL HI-AYH HOSTEL, 891 Amsterdam Ave. / 103rd st.,
212-932-2300
