These proceedings comprise two workshops celebrating the
accomplishments of David J. Benson on the occasion of his sixtieth
birthday. The papers presented at the meetings were representative
of the many mathematical subjects he has worked on, with an
emphasis on group prepresentations and cohomology. The first
workshop was titled "Groups, Representations, and Cohomology" and
held from June 22 to June 27, 2015 at Sabhal Mor Ostaig on the Isle
of Skye, Scotland. The second was a combination of a summer school
and workshop on the subject of "Geometric Methods in the
Representation Theory of Finite Groups" and took place at the
Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences at the University
of British Columbia in Vancouver from July 27 to August 5, 2016.
The contents of the volume include a composite of both summer
school material and workshop-derived survey articles on geometric
and topological aspects of the representation theory of finite
groups. The mission of the annually sponsored Summer Schools is to
train and draw new students, and help Ph.D students transition to
independent research.

Math Hour Olympiads is a non-standard method of training middle-
and high-school students interested in mathematics where students
spend several hours thinking about a few difficult and unusual
problems. When a student solves a problem, the solution is
presented orally to a pair of friendly judges. Discussing the
solutions with the judges creates a personal and engaging
mathematical experience for the students and introduces them to the
true nature of mathematical proof and problem solving. This book
recounts the authors' experiences from the first ten years of
running a Math Hour Olympiad at the University of Washington in
Seattle. The major part of the book is devoted to problem sets and
detailed solutions, complemented by a practical guide for anyone
who would like to organize an oral olympiad for students in their
community. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and
appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other
disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing
books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to
young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics
profession.
