The program will also include a directed Research Problem Session on Wednesday evening from 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Research Problem Sessions were introduced by the Europeans at Summer Symposium XV in 1991 at Smolenica (now in Slovakia) and have become quite popular and successful ever since.

One of our high priority goals for this symposium is to create an atmosphere at the conference where people can begin collaborations on research problems. To be successful we must set aside time when participants can feel free to work. A too full schedule can be a deterent to the type of working atmosphere we wish to create. As such, we plan to set aside at least two hours each early afternoon when no activities are scheduled.

We anticipate that Symposium XXV will attract a broad international audience from North and South America, Russia, Georgia, Japan, Taiwan, China, India and most every European country. Information concerning this conference was placed on the real analysis web page (http://www.stolaf.edu/people/analysis) in June, 2000 and preregistration indicates that a majority of the most active research real analysts will attend the 2001 Summer Symposium.

We have set aside at least five of the short presentations for first or second year Ph.Ds.

The host institution, Weber State University, is an ideal location to hold such a conference. Since the University will be on break during the period of the conference, all the necessary facilities will be readily available. Moreover, the University’s proximity to a half dozen national parks as well as the Rocky Mountains should encourage more than average participation. Salt Lake City Airport affords easy access.

Housing

Rooms will be available in Weber State's residence halls for $21.50 a night (single), and $16.50 a night (double), with a required dining facility charge of $28 that provides for breakfast Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings, as well as dinner Wednesday evening.

Alternate Accommodations

Here is a partial list of local hotels for those folks that do not want to stay in Weber State's residence halls. Unfortunately, there are no hotels within easy walking distance of W. S. U., so those staying off campus will also have to arrange for transportation to and from campus.

• Best Rest Inn (801) 393-8644
  
• Best Western High Country Inn (801) 394-9474
  
• Days Inn - Ogden (801) 399-5671
  
• Super 8 Motel (801) 731-7100
  
• Western Colony Inn (801) 627-1332
  

Conference Fees

While we hope that additional corporate sponsorship will allow us to lower the registration fee considerably, we currently estimate that registration for the symposium will be $150.

Arrival and Departure

For those who are flying, Salt Lake City International Airport affords the easiest access to Ogden and Weber State University. There will be a conference shuttle to and from the airport Tuesday afternoon, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning. For those who are driving, the area and campus maps found at the W.S.U. web site ( www.weber.edu ) should be sufficient. Registration and check-in will be in Promintory Tower Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, with our first activity being the reception dinner Tuesday night in the Commons adjacent to the residences.

Regional Attractions

Those that have the opportunity may want to visit some of national parks and monuments found within a half day's drive of Weber State University. These include Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Zion, Arches, Bryce, Grand Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks, as well as Grand Staircase- Escalante National Monument and Golden Spike National Historic Site. Additional travel information can be found at the Utah Travel Council's web site ( www.utah.com ) as well as that for Ogden City ( www.ogden-ut.com ).
