Abstract: The solution of a famous problem of dynamical systems theory, the question of the linearizability of holomorphic maps of the complex plane in the neighbourhood of a fixed point, turned out to involve number theory in an essential and intriguing way. Much less is known about the higher-dimensional case of this problem, and progress seems to depend on questions of algorithm design for simultaneous approximation of sets of irrationals. Though this is a highly specialized area, I will attempt to give a general survey and point out the links between the pure mathematics and computer science involved in attacks on this problem. Speaker Biography: Keith Briggs was born in Cambridge and studied in Australia, obtaining a PhD in mathematics from Melbourne University. He has held postdoctoral positions in Perth and Cambridge and is now a senior mathematician at BTexaCT Research in Suffolk, England. He has worked in nonlinear dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, stochastic processes, biomathematics and network theory.

Take the Washington Flyer bus ($8US) to the West Falls Church metro stop. Take the subway in the direction of New Carrollton. Get off at Metro Center stop. Go up a level to catch the Red Line in the direction of Shady Grove. Get off at Bethesda. Go up _all_ the elevators to the street level (i.e., don't just stop at the level where the large circle of buses are). The road directly in front of you is Old Georgetown. Go slightly to the right and cross Old Georgetown and walk along Wisconsin (this is heading to the NW, i.e., heading in the same direction as the train you were on is going, i.e., heading out of the city (DC) toward the Beltway). The Bethesda Court Hotel is on your left in about 2 blocks. To Georgia Tech: taking Marta from the airport and getting off at the North Ave station. Walk east on North Ave 1 block then make a left on Peachtree street. The Hotel is about one block north on the right hand side of the street. To get to GT go west (~3/4 mile) on North Ave across the expressway. There is an entrance to the university near the top of the hill. Take that entrance and continue till the road turn to the right. The Math (Skiles) building is on your left. I am in room 211. Oct 24 Columbia Uni. Huelgas Ens. Oct 27 Concert Soc. of Maryland College Pk.
