VISITING MATHEMATICIANS
Below is a list of mathematicians who are (or will be)
visiting Australia or
New Zealand. The main purpose of this section is to
enable institutions, other than the principal host institution, to
invite these visitors to spend some time with them. We would ask, however,
that anyone wishing to issue such an invitation to a visitor do so in
cooperation with the listed contact for enquiries. This will ease the
contact's task of coordinating the visit as a whole.
Please send details of visitors to your department to the Editor of the
Gazette .
Details about each visitor are presented in the following order:
name of visitor;
home institution;
whether accompanied;
dates of visit;
principal host institution;
principal field of interest;
contact for enquiries;
