          "Weierstrass's $\wp$-function and Transcendence"
          Abstract: As a consequence of recent work related to
            functions associated with Weierstrass's $\wp$-function, new
            results have been obtained related to the algebraic
            independence of e and pi.  I give a survey of these
            breakthroughs due to Nesterenko and a team at St. Etienne.
