ACCOMMODATION: Hotel "Cooperator" (it has applied for a three stars category) is located at a distance of 1 km from the Institute of Mathematics (IM) and has parking. At the moment prices per night in UAH are specified with respect to the categories: • a single room: 350 for (OC); • a bed in a double room - about 60% of the mentioned price. Breakfast is included. Single room and a bed in a double room are available also in other hotels approximately for the following prices per night (breakfast included): • Hotel "Natsionalny"**** -$ 210 and -, respectively;
