Yamabe Lecture
The Yamabe Memorial Lecture was initiated jointly by Northwestern University and the University of Minnesota in 1962. At Northwestern, the Yamabe Lectures are given every two years by a prominent mathematician working in a field related to Yamabe’s work. In the alternate years, the University of Minnesota holds the Yamabe Memorial Symposium.
