On behalf of the National Center of Theoretical Sciences, the National
Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, and a group of his former students from
the Michigan State University, we would like to invite you to join us
for a symposium honoring our beloved teacher, friend, and colleague,
Dr. Tien-Yien Li, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
The symposium is to take place at the Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu,
Taiwan, T.Y.'s alma mater, from May 10 to May 12, 2005. For many
reasons, we want to make this a cherished once-in-a-life event. The
celebration therefore will feature prominent speakers to talk about
the subjects in which T.Y. has had interest throughout his professional
career, some contributed papers from his colleagues and students, a
fabulous reception and banquet dinner, and a one-day excursion to the
renowned Palace Museum and some scenic areas in Taiwan.
Plenary Speakers:
Felipe Cucker (City University of Hong Kong)
Herb Keller (Caltech)
Masakazu Kojima (Tokyo Institute of Technology, )
