Miscelleneous

Financial Support

The conference is being supported by grants from Reed College, the National Science Foundation, and the National Security Agency. Graduate students and younger mathematicians are eligible for support for on-site expenses, and graduate students are eligible to apply for partial travel support. To apply, mention your particulars (status, sources of other support, travel costs) in the "Miscellaneous" section of the registration form above.

Diversions

There are so many things to do in Portland that it is impossible to list them all, and probably unwise to organize entertainment. Here are several events that require advance planning on your part (e.g., a mention on the registration form below).

The Portland Art Museum has a Splendors of Ancient Egypt exhibit, and reservations are required.

On Monday evening (June 22) there will be a chamber music concert on campus (Stravinksy, Ravel, Dvorak). Prices range from $15 to $27, but the concert will surely be sold out, so advance registration is a must.

World Cup Soccer (football) will be taking place the week of the conference. Televised versions of some or all of the games that week will be available in a common room in the dorms. Consult a schedule to find the precise games that you might be interested in.

There are numerous opportunities for hiking, sightseeing, mountain-climbing, and beachcombing not too far from Portland. There will be an organized hike on Thursday afternoon.

The weather in Portland at that time of year is likely to have highs around 72F (22C) and lows around 55F. Late June is approximately the boundary between early summer (often intermittently rainy, especially in an El Nino year), and mid-summer (dry and hot), so the weather is a bit chancy.
