                TITLE:   Approximating Traveling Salesman Problems using
                Algebraic Techniques <br>
                <br>
                ABSTRACT:   I will give an overview of the recent
                progress in our understanding of traveling salesman
                problems as well as an introduction to the underlying
                algebraic techniques. In particular, I will talk about
                real-stable polynomials and their new and exciting
                applications in design and analysis of approximation
                algorithms.<br>
                <br>
                BIO:   Amin Saberi is an Associate Professor and 3COM
                faculty scholar in Stanford University. He received his
