PhiMSAMP-2 Utrecht, October 19-21, 2007 http://www.lib.uni-bonn.de/PhiMSAMP/PhiMSAMP2.html 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>.
