  • Jeremy Heis (University of California, Irvine) “Why did geometers stop using diagrams?”;
  • Danielle Macbeth (Haverford College) “The Puzzle of Logic in Relation to Mathematics”.

Mrs. Harriet Baldwin (baldwin.1@nd.edu) is the workshop manager. Any questions  concerning rooms, meals, etc. should be addressed to her. A block of rooms for the MWPMW 13 in conjunction with which the PMA workshop will be meeting has been reserved.
