Principal Investigator: David Eisenbud
The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) is a national research institute that seeks to further mathematical research through broadly based programs in the mathematical sciences and closely related activities on widely ranging topics. The Institute operates without permanent faculty and conducts long programs (half- or full-year), conferences, and introductory workshops aimed at students and postdoctoral researchers. MSRI contributes to the development of the mathematical sciences workforce through postdoctoral appointments to the long programs, summer graduate programs, and administration of the Bay Area Mathematical Olympiad and Berkeley Math Circles. Outreach and communication efforts include public lectures in the San Francisco Bay area, sponsorship of films on mathematics, and systematic Web video delivery of recorded MSRI lectures.
The MSRI Web site at www.msri.org/ describes upcoming and past programs, solicits ideas for future programs, and offers application forms for Institute activities.
