Arjeh Cohen 60 DIAMANT/EIDMA Symposium On 27, 28, and 29 May 2009 the DIAMANT/EIDMA Symposium will be held at De Kapellerput, Heeze. This is not an ordinary symposium; we will be celebrating the 60th birthday of Arjeh Cohen, board member of both DIAMANT and EIDMA. The emphasis of the conference will be on the areas of mathematics most prominent in Arjeh's work: Group Theory, Incidence Geometry, Algebra, and Algorithms. Invited speakers Bruce Cooperstein (UC Santa Cruz) Willem de Graaf (Trento) Wilberd van der Kallen (Utrecht) William Kantor (University of Oregon) Hanspeter Kraft (Basel) Bernhard Mühlherr (Giessen) Gabriele Nebe (RWTH Aachen) Tomas Recio (Santander) Lajos Rónyai (MTA SZTAKI Budapest) Ernest Shult (Kansas State University) David Wales (Caltech)
