Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report for the Academic Year 2000-2001
The lnstitute's foremost objective is the advancement of knowledge and the deepen ing of understanding across a broad range of the humanities, sciences, and social sci ences. One of the lnstitute's unique strengths is its small and distinguished perma nent Faculty, well'established scholars whose broad interests and extensive ties to the larger academic world are reflected in their own work and also in the guidance and direction they provide to the Institute's visiting Members. The Faculty defines the major themes and questions which become the focus of each School's seminars and other activities, and the Faculty selects and works closely with visiting Members. Small in number and organized in four Schools (historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science), the Faculty and Members can interact with one another without the departmental and disciplinary barriers found in universities.
