The John H. Barrett Memorial Lectures came to a close on Friday evening. Thanks to all of the speakers and participants for their invaluable contributions. We'd also like to thank the staff at the University of Tennessee, as well as our host at the Highland Manor Inn and Conference Center, for all of their patience and help in making this Lecture series a success.

Discrete differential geometry is concerned with: (1) discretization of concepts from classical differential and conformal geometry of surfaces; (2) creation of fast, flexible algorithms for computations with the objects of this discrete theory; and (3) application of the theory and software in mathematics, science, and engineering. The conference will be organized around these 5 interconnected themes:

In addition to hour talks there will be contributed talks and evening poster and software demonstration sessions. This is a Participating Institution Conference of the IMA (Institute for Mathematics and its Applications) and additional funding is pending. Young researchers, women, and minorities are particularly encouraged to apply.
Conference Organizers:
- Ken Stephenson of the University of Tennessee
