PhiMSAMP-2: a day of methodological tutorials for philosophy of mathematics

PhiMSAMP-2
Utrecht, October 19-21, 2007

PhiMSAMP-2 is a workshop of the PhiMSAMP (Philosophy of Mathematics:
Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice) network during which its
members collaborate on their research projects. However, part of the
workshop is open for the general public, and we cordially invite all
researchers and students to join us for Friday evening and Saturday.

On Friday evening, members of the PhiMSAMP network will present their
research results in short talks; the whole Saturday is devoted to tutorials
on methodology in the social sciences and cognitive science by leading
researchers (Kalthoff, Stenning, Buskens, Neth). These tutorials could be
particularly interesting for graduate students who are most enthusiastically
invited.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact Thomas Mueller at
<Thomas.Mueller@phil.uu.nl>.
