Conference in Honor of Steven Kleiman's 60th Birthday
Steven L. Kleiman, Professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, turns 60 on March 31, 2002. Professor Kleiman
is a leading figure in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry,
having made seminal contributions in subfields including motivic
cohomology, moduli problems, and intersection theory and enumerative
geometry. With 28 doctoral students and 19 non-student collaborators,
Professor Kleiman has served as teacher and mentor to mathematicians
throughout the world. This conference is intended to be a tribute to
the care with which he has nurtured mathematics and mathematicians.
