DESCRIPTION:We will begin by outlining how symplectic topology can help us
  to               \nunderstand families of smooth algebraic varieties and 
 conclude by               \nillustrating this philosophy in cases where it
  works well\, including            \nlow-rank Del Pezzo surfaces and A_n-M
 ilnor fibres. This week's talk is          \nbrought to you by the number 
 4 and the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves.
