Abstract

The Mid-Atlantic Mathematical Logic Seminar (MAMLS) will have its first conference of Academic Year 2013-2014 at Rutgers University in either September or October 2013. MAMLS was formed in the fall of 1982 under the aegis of Lee Stanley and has supported 2-4 regional meetings per year of 1-2 days' duration since then. These meetings are held at various locations and cover a broad spectrum of mathematical logic, with particular emphasis on complexity theory, theoretical computer science, fragments of arithmetic, pure and applied model theory, proof theory, recursion theory/computability theory, set theory, subsystems of analysis in accordance with the program of H. Friedman and S. Simpson, and topos theory. NSF support is provided for some of the expenses of the speakers and attendees, in particular of the graduate students and those without access to their own funding. Via the meetings sponsored, the MAMLS grant maintains the vitality of the field of mathematical logic. Special emphasis is placed on enhancing the participation of younger researchers and members of traditionally underrepresented groups, especially women. This is done by providing an intellectual forum in which all interested persons are invited to contribute and in which there are lectures on current topics of research.
