Notre Dame IN, U.S.A.
Dear Friends & Colleagues, This is a further reminder of the seventeenth annual Midwest PhilMath Workshop (MWPMW 17), to be held at Notre Dame the weekend of Saturday, November 12th and Sunday, November 13th, 2016. As usual, the plan is for a full day of talks and discussions on Saturday and a half day on Sunday. Also as usual, there will be a workshop lunch and a workshop dinner on Saturday, with all participants invited to attend as guests of the university. We're fortunate to have Ms. Lauri Roberts (lroberts@nd.edu) as the workshop manager again this year. Please help her and us, the planners and organizers, by completing the workshop registration form at: http://goo.gl/forms/VBNcdcciG6 If you?re interested in giving a talk, please email a pdf of your talk or a substantial summary to Paddy (pblanche@nd.edu), Tim (tbays@nd.edu), Curtis ( cfranks@nd.edu) and me (mdetlef1@nd.edu). We would like to have all proposals for talks by September 18th so that we can set the program by late September. Talks should be 35--40 minutes in length, with 15--20 minutes left for discussion. We?re pleased to announce that we will be having featured talks by Pr. Lydia Patton (Philosophy, Virginia Tech U) and Pr. Michael Rathjen (Mathematics, U of Leeds). Pr. Rathjen will be speaking on ?On Feferman?s Second Conjecture". Pr. Patton will be giving a talk titled "Fishbones, Wheels, Eyes, and Butterflies: Is There a Unified Account of Mathematical and Physical Modeling??. We ask that you share this announcement with others you think might be interested in attending MWPMW 17, both students and faculty. As usual we have limited funds to help defray expenses for student participants coming from out of town whose departments do not have funds to defray their costs. These funds will generally take the form of subventions for lodging. If you are interested in applying for such a subvention, please notify us of this as soon as possible. Please also arrange for your director of graduate studies to email us to confirm that your department cannot meet your expenses. That's it for now. We hope you're having a good spring, and we look forward to seeing you at MWPMW 17 in November.
