Southeast Geometry Conference
Friday-Saturday, March 11-12, 2005.
The 2005 Spring Southeast Geometry Conference will be held on the
March 11-12 (Friday and Saturday), at the Department of Mathematics, University of South Carolina,
Columbia, SC. The SEGC is an annual conference, in its sixteenth year,
covering all areas of geometry focused on relatively lengthy talks
(40-50 minutes is the norm), both invited and contributed. The
conference is free and open to the public. Registration is not
required, but we'd appreciate a quick note if you plan to come so that
we can be sure to have enough coffee to go around. All conference
talks will be in Room 412, LeConte (map).
Poster session: On Friday evening after dinner there will be a
poster session for graduate students, or others who wish to
contribute, to present their work. This will be accompanied by wine
and cheese.
