 2:30 ANALYSIS SEMINAR  - Room 459 MSC
      Neal Carothers, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, BGSU. 
      "C[0,1] as a universal space"

      Abstract: If K is a compact metric space, we will show that
        C(K), the space of continuous, real-valued functions on K, is
        isometric (and algebra isomorphic) to a subspace of C[0,1],
        the space of continuous, real-valued functions on [0,1].  The
        proof is quite elementary and hinges on several interesting
        properties of Cantor's ternary set.  We will also discuss a
        few variations on this theme.

      Lev Klebanov, BGSU and St. Petersburg State University
                             for Architecture and Civil Engineering
      "The problem of moments and computer tomography"

      Abstract:  In the talk will be discussed the following topics:
        1) Radon transform and its applications to computer
           tomography;
        2) Application of the problem of moments to the inversion of
           Radon transform for incomplete data and a solution of
           computer tomography paradox;
        3) Wigner quasi-probability distribution and computer
           tomography;
        4) The problem of moments for Wigner quasi-probability
           distribution.
