Second Annual Southeastern Probability Days

February 21 & 22, 1997

First Announcement

Center for Applied Probability Georgia Tech

DEADLINE: Friday, January 31, 1997


 We are holding our second annual meeting of probabilists in the
Southeast.  The keynote speakers this year will be E. Cinlar and
D. W. Stroock.  Professor Cinlar is planning to speak about
"Stochastic flows and mass transport;" Professor Stroock intends to
speak about "Probability theory and analysis, a mutually beneficial
relationship."


The conference will be loosely structured, with opportunities for
contributed talks and open problem sessions.  The main objective is to
make/renew contacts and exchange ideas.

Please encourage colleagues and graduate students to attend and to
respond as soon as possible to Lorraine Shaw at
