In 2011 the summer school took place in Bydgoszcz/Poland from September 4-18.
In 2012 the summer school took place in Freudenstadt from September 9-23.
At the summer school in Bydgoszcz, Professor Roman Ger spoke about convexity as follows:
"Convexity is a beautiful lady -- and I am a silent admirer of her".
In full accordance with his statement, I drew the following sketch on the black board at the beginning of my lecture series on "Calculus of Variations and Applications to Elasticity":
"Convexity is truly a beautiful lady -- but do you also know her beautiful sisters?"
It found its way into Macierzator 40 published by the mathematics students at the Silesian University in Katowice, whom I cordially thank for that.
