Dear Colleagues,

We hope you enjoyed the Macaulay2 Workshop at Wake Forest University. We expect to run such a workshop again in the near future, as well as seek funding for future workshops. Your feedback is critical both for running more productive workshops and for obtaining funding.

This questionnaire will take you only a few minutes to answer, but your responses will be enormously helpful to us! Please respond as soon as you can -- if possible by August 10 --- that is do this by the time you leave the workshop while your thoughts are still fresh.

We found the workshop a lot of fun and productive ourselves -- and very much enjoyed seeing you!

Cordially,

David Eisenbud
Dan Grayson
Frank Moore
Mike Stillman
Amelia Taylor
