AMS Special Session on Geometry of Curves and Surfaces / Twelfth Annual Southeast Geometry Conference,
March 16-18, 2001.

The special session represents this year's incarnation of the annual SouthEast Geometry Conference. It will be held at the University of South Carolina on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, March 16-18, 2001.

SEGC funds are available to those without grant support who wish to attend the conference/special session. Preference will be given to graduate students and other young mathematicians. It is not necessary to contribute a talk to take advantage of these funds. For more information contact Joe Fu at fu@math.uga.edu.

The full program for the AMS meeting can be found here. Information about registration, accommodations, and the like can be found here and more information about the meeting and the Columbia area here. This document can be down loaded in .tex, .dvi, and .pdf formats.
