not entirely without opposition, it has adopted an extremely
broad definition of the mathematical sciences. It has always
strongly resisted putting boundaries around mathematics.

organizational skills of the Institute staff. Over the past
twenty-five years, the staff has welcomed mathematicians
from around the world who return again and again for the
workshops and events.
