"The Lodz Symposium"

Lodz University and Lodz Technical University together with the Real Analysis Exchange are organizing Summer Symposium in Real Analysis XXIII. The organizing committee consists of: W. Wilczynski (chairman), M. Balcerzak, J. Hejduk, E. Lazarow, R.J. Pawlak, E. Wagner-Bojakowska, S. Lindner (secretary). Five invited (one-hour) lectures will be presented by the following professors:

• Benedetto Bongiorno (Palermo, Italy)
• Miklos Laczkovich (Budapest, Hungary)
• Tomasz Natkaniec (Gdansk, Poland)
• Ludek Zajicek (Prague, Czech Republic).
Several 20 minutes communications are planned during the conference. The conference will highlight the %organizers expect presentation of the latest developments in various branches of real analysis by specialists from many countries. Also, young researchers and graduate students working in that area are particularly welcome to participate. Lodz is considered to be a strong European center of real function theory. In the past, Professors Z. Zahorski, T. Swiatkowski and J. Lipinski worked there, and began a tradition of strength in that area. This tradition is now continued by their pupils. In recent years one could observe active cooperation between researchers of real analysis in Lodz with specialists from a variety of foreign institutions. For the duration of the symposium a lecture hall has been reserved in the building of Mathematics Department of Lodz University (st. Banacha 22). The university itself is conveniently located in the center of the city. Participants will be housed at the close-by University Conference Center (st. Kopcinskiego 16/18) which has both double and (a limited number of) single rooms. Meals will be served in the same facility. Conference Center guests are expected to arrive on Sunday afternoon, June 20. One day or half a day of the conference will be devoted to an excursion. The organizers also plan a problem session and a banquet during which a distinguished mathematician working in real analysis will be awarded by traditional  Andy.''
