Conference Program:

We are planning a conference dinner on Saturday evening, November 17. If you are one of the participants on the participant list, you are automatically counted as coming to dinner. Please let us know if you do NOT plan to come to dinner or if you would like to bring a guest. Also, please let us know if we have forgotten to put your name on the participant list.


Conference Schedule:

All talks will be in STRICKLAND HALL (you may have to hit the reload button on your browser to see the map), rooms STRICK 109 and STRICK 114.
Strickland Hall is a 1-minute walk from the Mathematical Sciences building. The Mathematical Sciences parking lot is CG18 (you may have to hit the reload button to see the map). This lot is free on Saturday and Sunday, and we will have reserved parking on Monday for those who need it.
