Department of Mathematics University of Georgia 8th Annual Cantrell Lectures April 15, 16 and 17, 2002 Professor Jon Alperin University of Chicago Jon Alperin received his PhD. from Princeton University under the direction of Graham Higman. After a postdoctoral position at Oxford and an instructorship at MIT, he accepted a post at the University of Chicago. He has been a Professor at Chicago for more than 30 years. Among his many travels, he has been visiting professor at All Souls College, Oxford, and at the University of Paris VII. He has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Studies and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. Lecture 1 "Group representations, their applications and arithmetic" Monday, April 15, 2002 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Physics Building, Room 202 (Refreshments will be served before the talk, at 3:30 p.m.) Representations of symmetric groups are a basic tool in physics and chemistry. But, in addition, representations of finite groups come up in many other places in science and examples will be given, leading to the "arithmetic" of representations and to research of current great importance in this direction. (This lecture will be accessible to a general audience of students and faculty interested in mathematics and science.)

Next Complaint # 9 for June 30, 2003 Complaints.com received the following on June 29, 2003: From: steve.wilkins [steve.wilkins@quista.net] RE: To bring new readers up to date, this is an ongoing complaint about World Books continuing to cause distress and upset to a young woman whose mother has died. World Books seem to be totally incapable of making a simple database entry, fulfilling their verbal promises, or fulfulling their written promises. In short, their administrative and management organisation is a shambles and disgrace. That would be fine in a business case. However, we are not talking about business, we are talking about people, people with feelings, people who have lost a loved one and are being harassed and threatened with court action - despite the verbal and written assurances of World Books. My daughter-in-law had made several telephone calls to World Books to state her mother had died. Each time World Books acknowledged the fact and agreed to close the account. On the 7th June, I sent an Email to World Books and to the Direct Marketing Authority to outline the complaint.
