Audio-visual
materials: In addition to overhead projectors, the lecture halls for
the conference are equipped with PCs and Macintosh computers with overhead
projection capabilities. The computers have Microsoft PowerPoint installed on
them and have access to the Internet. Because
there is always some small possibility of technical problems, we strongly
recommend that you bring along overhead transparencies in case computer
presentation becomes unavailable.
Internet access will be provided to participants during the conference.
Traveling to
By Automobile. Ann Arbor is easily accessible by car from Interstate 94 from the east and west, U.S. 23 from the north and south. Please consult www.maps.yahoo.com for map and driving directions.
By Air. Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) is approximately 25 miles east of Ann Arbor (and the University). Every major domestic airline schedules flights in and out of this international terminal. There are two terminals, the McNamara terminal which services Northwest Airlines exclusively (since the Metro airport is one of its major hub), and the Smith terminal which services all other airlines. Ground transportation by cab, rental car, and airport shuttle to the University and to Crown Plaza/Holiday Inn express is readily available. One-way trip from/to the Metro airport (not including tip) is approximately $35 by taxi and $22 by airport shuttle. If you drive, take I-94 West as you leave the Metro airport and take the Exit 177 (State Street Exit); Crowne Plaza/Holiday Inn is right off the exit on your left (next to the shopping complex), see driving map.
By Bus or Train. Ann Arbor can also be accessed by bus or train. Contact Greyhound or Amtrak.
Other Events in
45th Annual Ann Arbor Art Fairs (July 21- July 24, 2004). This four-day event draws over a thousand artists from across the country. It's the biggest public event of the year in Ann Arbor, attracting an estimated half million visitors. In addition to displays by artists, the fairs feature a variety of outdoor entertainment and related events.
Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Biology (July 24-July 28, 2004). The Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan hosts this International Conference of Mathematics in Biology and Medicine. There will be a mini-symposium on mathematical psychology, organized at the last minute.
