Summary: 

We shall study different incarnations of Wronskians:

- those of linear systems in algebraic geometry;

- those in ordinary differential equations;

- those in singularity theory;

- and many others.



We shall have three days: Thu, Fri and Sat with many talks; the remaining
days will be devoted to doing research related to Wronskians. 


In one afternoon, we plan to have a series of talks about the work of
Hoene-Wronski in Physics, Economy, Technics etc. delivered by the leading 
specialists in Poland. A special lecture on political ideas of 
Hoene-Wronski will be delivered by Professor Jacek Bartyzel (Nicolaus
Copernicus University) - a honorary member of Polish Monarchist Party. 



Important information:

All rooms in the mini-hotel of IMPAN are already booked for the speakers 
and some participants of our Wronskian Research Group.
