4. Technical Presentation

Bill Cowan	Title : Give me a lever. Abstract: When you have a new hammer you go looking for nails that need hammering. When I was introduced to group theory I thought that there must be something to do with it that is less boring than calculating Klebsch-Gordan coefficients. Well, I've found it, and it shows that behind every moded interface there's a simpler unmoded interface trying to get out.
