On behalf of the National Center of Theoretical Sciences, the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, and a group of his former students from the Michigan State University, we would like to invite you to join us for a symposium honoring our beloved teacher, friend, and colleague, Dr. Tien-Yien Li, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

The symposium is to take place at the Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, T.Y.'s alma mater, from May 10 to May 12, 2005. For many reasons, we want to make this a cherished once-in-a-life event. The celebration therefore will feature prominent speakers to talk about the subjects in which T.Y. has had interest throughout his professional career, some contributed papers from his colleagues and students, a fabulous reception and banquet dinner, and a one-day excursion to the renowned Palace Museum and some scenic areas in Taiwan.

Plenary Speakers and Proposed Talks:
  Felipe Cucker    Counting solutions of polynomial systems and
             complexity of the Euler characteristics
  Herb Keller     Periodic Orbits and Mission Design Calculations
