Registration has begun for our symposium honoring Jerry Friedman, to be held on May 15th at the Mackenzie Room in Huang Engineering. Jerry once described his colleagues in Sequoia Hall as “so sharp, so smart, so inventive and original” and we'll prove it by joining him on this special day, to show him that it's been our great good fortune that, nearly 40 years ago, he accepted us!
