I've been out of circulation lately, but I'd be interested in attending
another meeting. Are there any plans for April?

I'll be in town all next week and would love to meet up sometime.

Zach

There are. I was shooting for mid-month, but if Zach's in town next
week, I'll see what I can do to move things up.

I'm pleased to announce that Professor Harry Mairson of Brandeis
University will be speaking on "Functional Geometry and the Trait?
de Lutherie". Professor Mairson will discuss the use of functional
programming to describe the outlines of eighteenth-century stringed
instruments, as explained in the 2006 book by Luthier Fran?ois Denis,
"Trait? de Lutherie". The programming metaphor is entirely Euclidean,
incloving only straightedge and compass constructions, with few
(if any) numbers, and no Cartesian equations or grid. The goal is
to characterize common patterns in instrument design: not only the
abstraction of straightedge and compass constructions, but also of
higher-order components in the instrument design process.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 10 April at 6:30 PM,
in the Star Conference room at MIT's Stata Center (MIT 32-D463;
<http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=32>). After the talk, we will adjourn
to Mary Chung's for dinner.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Sounds great, see you then!
