Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to announce the fist workshop of the newly 
formed Philosophy of Mathematics Association, Inc (PMA).

The workshop will be held Friday, October 26th on the Notre Dame 
campus. Invited speakers and their themes are:

Steve Awodey (Carnegie Mellon U): "Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent 
Foundations"

Danielle Macbeth: "The Puzzle of Logic in Relation to Mathematics"

Jeremy Heis (U of California-Irvine): "Why did geometers stop using diagrams?"

Mrs. Harriet Baldwin (<mailto:baldwin.1 at nd.edu>baldwin.1 at nd.edu) will 
be the workshop manager. Please contact her with any questions you 
may have concerning rooms, meals, etc.. She has booked a block of 
rooms for the MWPMW 13 in conjunction with which the PMA workshop 
will be meeting. Since there are other conferences going on the same 
weekend, demand for rooms may be high and it would thus be a good 
idea to reserve a room with Harriet as soon as possible.

Please share this announcement with others you think might be interested.

I hope you've had a good summer, and I look forward to seeing you at 
the PMA workshop (and MWPMW 13) in October.

On behalf of the Board and officers of the PMA, I am

Yours truly,

Mic Detlefsen
President, PMA

Vice-President: Colin McLarty
Treasurer: Dan Isaacson
