Subject: Seminar on Inverse Problems and Applications, Mar 21-24, 2006
A SEMINAR ON INVERSE PROBLEMS AND APPLICATIONS will be held at the
Auditorium of CBPF/LNCC in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from March 21 to
24, 2006. The Seminar goal is both to celebrate the 25th year of the
creation of the National Laboratory of Scientific Computation
(LNCC/MCT) and to honor the pioneer work due to Professor Alberto
Calderon. In 1980, during a workshop held at LNCC (which was about to
be created), Professor Calderon's lecture pointed out a seminal
result for Inverse Problems.
Further information on the Seminar is available at
