SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

The conference is organized to mark the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Beniamino Segre (1903-1977). Given the wide range of mathematical areas to which Beniamino Segre contributed, the aim of the conference is to present the state of the art in Geometry, in its algebraic, differential, arithmetical and combinatorial aspects. The lectures will be addressed to a general mathematical audience.

The conference will take place at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, via della Lungara 10 (7 June) and at Dipartimento di Matematica 'G. Castelnuovo', Università di Roma 'La Sapienza', P.le Aldo Moro 2 (8-9 June).

SPEAKERS
