``No Wild Reflections"
The key to the Riemann Mapping Theorem in R^3 was proving that the
quasiconformal reflections are tame, i.e. conjugate to a euclidean
reflection (disproving conjectures of Heinonen, Semmes and Sullivan).
We give the details of the theory of span which made this possible.

"Conformal Welding and Circle Packing"
The problem of decomposing a homeomorphism h of the circle by
conformal mappings f, g of the inside and outside respectively of the
circle by f = g o h  is fundamental in Teichmuller Theory, Complex Dynamics.
The speaker gives a general discussion leading to his solution of
Hamilton's conjecture (to appear Annals).

 "Riemann Mapping Theorem in R^3"
We give the main results and ideas in the characterization of domains
which are the quasiconformal image of the unit ball, solving the
problem of Ahlfors and Gehring. Formerly Gehring had found necessary
conditions, while Sullivan and Thurston had given sufficient conditions
using "circle inscribing".

"Conformal Mapping in Linear Time"
A general talk in which Numerical Analysis meets Classical Analysis.
Trufethen has given numerical methods of solving the Schwarz-Christoffel
method of mapping a polygon with n vertices onto a disk. However as
n grows this soons becomes intractiable. By a completely different method
inspired by Sullivan-Thurston "circle inscibing" the speaker shows
how to get O(n).

As this is a symposium there will be breaks for tasting the wines of
RICHARD HAMILTON.  (It is not necessary to attend all talks as the
primary purpose  is for the speakers to check details, and drink
some wine).
