Geometry and Topology seminar Wednesdays 2:30-3:45 (and some Mondays 2:30-3:45) |
The goal of this seminar is to allow Pioneer Valley geometers and topologists and outsiders ample time to discuss their current research and/or interests. The talks will contain background information for the non-experts, but also possibly some technical details. Audience interaction is strongly encouraged. It will not be unusual for the speaker to talk for several sessions.
