Algebraic geometry seminar

The algebraic geometry seminar meets on Mondays from 4:30-5:20 in B13 MacLean Hall. Our audience is very broad (representation theorists, geometers, topologists, algebraists, etc.) and includes many graduate students. Questions can be addressed to Julianna Tymoczko at tymoczko [atsign] math [dot] uiowa [dot] edu.
