The graduate student Geometry-Topology seminar was started in the spring of 2005 to provide students in geometry and topology a place for presenting their research to their peers. If you are interested in presenting to the group, please contact Jeff Frazier (jfrazier@math.umd.edu) or Andy Sanders (sanderandy@gmail.com) for details.

NEWS: As of Fall 2008, the Student Geometry-Topology Seminar will once again be separate from the Faculty Geometry-Topology seminar. The regular meeting time for the seminar will be Wednesdays at 3pm, in room 1311 of the math building. Anyone with an interest in the subject is welcome to attend and to give a talk. Our group is informal, friendly, and low-pressure.

Day: Wednesday
Time: 3:00pm
Place: Math 1313
