The Winter Midwest Topology Seminar will be held this Saturday, February 21, at
Purdue University.

We are in the Eastern time zone.

   9:15  Refreshments in the Math Library lounge

   10:00 Kent Orr         Surface knots and iterated intersection theory

   11:30 Greg Friedman    A new Kunneth theorem for intersection homology

   2:30  Kate Ponto       Traces and fixed points

   4:00  Tom Goodwillie   TBA

   5:15  party in the Math Library Lounge

All talks will be in MATH 175; this is on the ground floor of the Math
building, at the north side of the building (the opposite side from the
elevators).  There's a campus map at http://www.purdue.edu/campus_map/

There is free parking in the garage across the street from the math department
(marked PGU on the map).

Refreshments will be in the Math Library lounge; the Math Library
is on the south side of the building, on the third floor near the elevators.

The National Science Foundation has made some funds available to the
Midwest Topology Seminar to support participants. If you wish to apply for
support, contact Jim McClure ([log in to unmask]) before the conference.

Directions to the math department from I-65: Take exit 178 and turn south onto
St. Rd. 43.  Continue for about 6 miles to the traffic light at the
intersection with State Street (St. Rd. 26); this is the first large
intersection.  Turn right onto State Street and then continue to the fourth
traffic light, which is University Street.  Turn right on University.  After
two blocks the parking garage is on your left and the Math building is
the tall building (10 floors) on your right.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1100 mathematicians worldwide.

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference anouncement will also begin with that statement.  In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct! Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list.

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
