Hi, Of tangential relevance is that I will be giving a talk at the MAA Invited Paper Session "Contemporary Unsolved Problems". The session will be held 8-11 a.m. Friday in Hynes Convention Center room 302. They say that "the plan is for 30-minute talks and generous 15 minute breaks to allow time for questions."
Also, just to confirm, I have sent off a contract to rent a booth for the meeting...
