Combinatorics, Algebra and Geometry Seminar (CAGS)
The Seminar this Fall semester of
2009
meets 11:30 AM -- 12:20 PM on Fridays in Science & Technology
Building I Room 242
CAGS Chair: Walter Morris
The CAGS is intended as an informal venue, where faculty members, graduate students, visitors
from near and far can come and give informal talks on their research, interesting new topics, open problems or just
share their thoughts/ideas on anything interesting relating to combinatorics, algebra and discrete geometry.
Needless to say, all are welcome to attend, and those who want to give a talk, should email me (Walter) the title and a short
abstract.
For other talks/presentations, check our departmental Colloquium,
or our departmental Applied and
Computational Math Seminar or our departmental Topology
seminar.
