During the conference, we gave software awards to promising young
participants in recognition of their contributions to the
meeting. These awards consisted of single-user, licensed copies
of Maple
11, Mathematica 6, MuPAD 4, and Scientific
Workplace 5.5.
The software was kindly provided by the
manufacturers:
Maplesoft,
Wolfram Research,
SciFace, and MacKichan Software, respectively. We thank
each of these
benefactors for their generous support.
The undergraduate participant award, a copy of Maple, went to Andy Kirou, University of Miami.
The student presentation award, a copy of Mathematica, went to Peggy Kouroumalou, University of
Athens.
As is our tradition, two other awards were given to honor

physics
meetings in south Florida since 1964. The awards were
given in their names to students participating in the conference for
the first time.
