Come celebrate the legacy of the late Ray Fulkerson at Cornell University on September 20-21!
Featured Speakers include Tom Magnanti, Karla Hoffman, Ted Ralphs, Andrew Goldberg, and Gerard Cornuejols.
The program will start with a general-audience public lecture highlighting the formative achievements of Fulkerson and his collaborators on foundations of both pure and computational mathematics in several important areas, as well as the profound real-world impact of Fulkerson's work. This talk will be followed by three more technical surveys that will describe progress in key areas to which he contributed: discrete optimization via integer programming; network flows; and extremal combinatorics, perfect graphs & related polyhedra.
