Dear All,
Attached please find Dr Circovic's handout for his talk, his CV, and his photo (taken yesterday, especially for this event :-)), and the two student papers (the 2 Istvans: Danka & Aranyosi) to be presented at the workshop on Friday, 26 March, 14:00.
I'd be happy if all of you came and join the discussion! [these materials will be downloadable from my website, but only from tomorrow, as I am very tired now to work on that]
Best wishes
Istvan
