The First Annual Southeastern Probability Days

September 29 & 30, 1995

Center for Applied Probability

Georgia Tech

The recently formed Center for Applied Probability at Georgia Tech
will hold a regional conference on Friday and Saturday, September 29th and
30th.  We are fortunate to have Larry Shepp from Bell Laboratories as the
keynote speaker.  Dr. Shepp will be giving two talks.  The first talk is on
"Tomography as an application of probability," and the second is "The
Russian option - an application of probability to finance."
If you are interested in participating, please let us know by
September 1 (or earlier if possible so that we can get a handle on the
number of attendees).  There is a limited amount of funds available which
will be used to defray travel or lodging expenses for some conference
attendees.  Priority will be given to people coming from outside of
Atlanta and to graduate students and junior faculty members.
We are attempting to keep the costs of attending the conference low.
to require no conference fee.  If you have questions about the conference,
