On Saturday, 21 September at the CRM (Centre de Recherches Mathematiques, Universite de Montreal) we are holding a one-day not-quite-birthday-bash workshop, celebrating the career of Prof Joachim (Jim) Lambek, FRSC. (Jim was 90 last December.) Jim Lambek has been a profoundly inspirational mathematician for more than 60 years, and has made ground-breaking contributions to a number of fields, including algebra, linguistics, theoretical physics, and logic and proof theory. Lambek's work on (categorical approaches to) linguistics, to theoretical physics, and to logic and proof theory will be represented by talks during the meeting. There will be a reception at the CRM following the talks. There is a preliminary listing of this meeting on the CRM's website http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/cal/en/jour20130921.html Further information about the CRM (e.g. how to get there, hotels, etc) may be found on their website http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/en/ . A more detailed announcement (and website) will be made later. The speakers will be: 1. W. Buszkowski (Poznan) 2. C. Casadio (Chieti) / M. Sadrzadeh (Queen Mary) 3. B. Coecke (Oxford) 4. M. Makkai (McGill) 5. M. Moortgat (Utrecht) 6. P. Scott (Ottawa) 7. P. Selinger (Dalhousie) -- <rags@math.mcgill.ca> <www.math.mcgill.ca/rags> [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
