FOCS98 Tutorials
FOCS98 Tutorials
The first day this year will consist of tutorials as listed below
and in the conference program. There are no additional charges for
these tutorials; they are part of your registration fee. We intend
to make available hard copies of the transparencies used in the
tutorials at the conference. Booklets of transparencies will cost
$7 if ordered in advance, and $10 (while supplies last) at the
conference. Please order the transparencies early if you think you
will want them.
