IMR 2011


Mathematics Graduate Program
A mini-conference for entering graduate students
The Friday-Monday lectures will be in Hill 705, and the Tuesday lectures will be in Hill 423. Breakfast and Lunch (highlighted in green) will be available in the lounge, Hill 703 on Friday and Monday, and lunch will be available in Hill 323 on Tuesday.
This program is presented by faculty and current graduate students to provide a review and fill in gaps in some background expected in standard courses, and to get an idea of the research being done by current students for their dissertations. It is also an opportunity for new students to meet each other and to get acquainted with some continuing graduate students and faculty members. All entering Ph.D. Students are strongly encouraged to attend.
Due to the potential arrival of Hurricane Irene, the activities on Sunday, August 28 have to be rescheduled. Talks originally scheduled for August 28 have been moved to either the afternoon of Tuesday, August 30, or to Monday, August 29; Prof. Woodward's talk on Monday, August 29 has also been moved.
