A Symposium to Honor the Scientific Career of Jacob T. Schwartz

The Computer Science Department and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences are organizing a one-day symposium to honor Jack Schwartz, who will be retiring from active teaching at the end of the current academic year. We hope you will be able to join us to celebrate his extraodinarily fertile career as a mathematician, computer scientist, science administrator, teacher, mentor, and friend.
