| Trjitzinsky Memorial Lectures | ||
| This
annual lecture series honors the memory of Professor Waldemar J. Trjitzinsky
who cam to the United States from Russia, and taught and researched
in the Department of Mathematics, UIUC, from 1934 to 1969. The lecture
series began in 1978 and was made possible from the gifts of Trjitzinsky's
former Ph.D. students; Bing K. Wong, one of Trjitzinsky's students
was the person responsible for setting up the Trjitzinsky fund. Each
series of three lectures is aimed at a general mathematical public
and graduate students. |
