Curt with son Curt Jr at the 2017 SEICCGTC after receiving the 2013 Euler Medal Charles Curtis Lindner of Auburn, Alabama, was born on July 21, 1938, in Tampa, Florida, and passed peacefully into Heaven on February 21, 2023. He was 84 years old. Mr. Lindner was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church. He graduated from Decatur High School in 1956, and Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina in 1960 where he ran track.  He earned Masters and PhD from Emory University in 1969, with d issertation "Some Embedding Theorems for Partial Latin Squares" under a dvisor Trevor Evans. Curtis proudly served in the United States Army and the United States Army Reserve from 1956 until 1964. He married Ann Richards on March 10, 1961. Curtis worked as a professor at Auburn University from 1969, achieving the status of Distinguished University Professor. He was also  Honorary Professor, University of Queensland from 1994 and  Honorary Professor of Combinatorics Universita di Catania from 2

Conference announcement: Canadam 2032

  Le français suit. We apologize for any cross-posting. CanaDAM 2023 announcement and call for participation. The next biennial CanaDAM Conference will take place June 5--8, 2023 in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada. This will be an in-person meeting hosted jointly by the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg. Conference website:  https://www.canadam.ca/ The general topic of the conference is the theory and application of discrete structures. Its goal is to highlight the most salient trends in the field. The conference will bring together researchers from the various disciplines with which discrete and algorithmic mathematics interact. Particular areas of interest include graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets, designs, coding theory, enumeration, combinatorics of words, discrete optimization, discrete and computational geometry, lattice point enumeration, combinatorial algorithms, computational complexity, and applications of discrete and algorithmic mathemat
