CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie. Dear All, There is a threat to pure mathematics research at Leicester and a petition here https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mathematics-is-not-redundant which I encourage you to sign. The proposals represent an attack on pure mathematics research in general and a specific threat to the category theory research represented at Leicester and to the LMS funded Yorkshire and Midlands Category Theory network which has its main node at Leicester. Best wishes, Simona. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr Simona Paoli Associate Professor School of Mathematics and Actuarial Science University of Leicester, UK [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
