The purpose of this workshop is to gather friends, colleagues, and collaborators of Raytcho Lazarov in occasion of his 70th birthday. It will be held on January 25th and 26th 2013 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, starting Friday morning and ending Saturday after lunch. This workshop is made possible by the support of Texas A&M University's Department of Mathematics, College of Science, Institute for Applied Mathematics and Computational Science, and Institute for Scientific Computation.

Attendance at the workshop is free-of-charge but there is a fee for attending the Friday celebration dinner. We ask all of the participants to register online. The deadline to register for the dinner is January 18, 2013. However, there is a limited number of dinner reservations available, so early registration is strongly encouraged.

Information will be provided at http://isc.tamu.edu/events/Lazarov70/ and will be updated frequently.

Please join us as we celebrate our honored colleague.
