International Conference on Trends in the Mathematical Representation of Space, 2007

The International Conference on Trends in the Mathematical Representation of Space took place on December 1-2, 2007. This year marked the fiftieth anniversary of Alexander Grothendieck’s famed Tohoku paper. Grothendieck was renowned for trying to tackle problems at the “correct” level of generality. Others have followed this same approach in order to unify diverse fields …
