The 1991 Monie A. Ferst Award and Medal will be presented to
Manuel Blum on Friday, May 10, 1991 at the Georgia Institute of Technology
in Atlanta, Georgia. The annual Award is the primary means that Sigma Xi,
the scientific research society, honors nationally distinguished
scientists (over all fields). A symposium in Dr. Blum's honor will
be held on the Georgia Tech campus, to be followed by an awards
banquet in the evening. The speakers at the symposium are four of
the many prominent scientists that have been Dr. Blum's students.
We would be delighted to have interested parties attend the symposium.
Note that it is in the same week as this year's STOC meeting.
