Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
the mathematical study of configuration spaces of linkages consisting
of rigid bars connected by revolute joints embedded in an ambient space
of fixed dimension. 

The workshop is organized by
Brigitte Servatius and Meera Sitharam.

AIM Research Conference Center:
--------------------------------

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
