Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences The Fields Institute is a centre of mathematical activity in Canada–a place where mathematicians from educational and research institutions in Canada and abroad, from business, industry, and financial institutions, can come together to carry out research on problems of mutual interest. The Institute provides a supportive and stimulating environment in which these diverse groups can interact. Its goal is to ensure that Canada plays a significant role in mathematical discovery and mathematical application in our modern technological society. Fields Institute 2005 ANNUAL REPORT ii
