*First Announcement: TexTaG* *Texas Undergraduate Topology and Geometry Conference* *University of Texas at Austin* *Friday-Sunday, February 22-24* You are cordially invited to join us in the first annual Texas Undergraduate Topology and Geometry Conference. TeXTaG (with apologies to the toll roads folks) is intended to give undergraduate researchers working in topology and geometry a chance to present their work, and to give undergraduates from Texas and neighboring states a chance to network, learn some math, and think about next steps. Modeled after the Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics, this conference will feature two outside speakers: Abigail Thompson (University of California at Davis), and David Auckly (Kansas State University) The remainder of the schedule will depend on how many students sign up to speak. The emphasis is on undergraduates talking to undergraduates, but we're likely to have panel discussions on subjects such as graduate school and teaching. The conference will begin with a reception on Friday evening, and end around noon on Sunday. For more information and to register, see the conference webpage: math.utexas.edu/conferences/textag . We anticipate being able to provide accommodations and travel funding to a majority of participants from Texas and neighboring states. Students from farther away are welcome to attend, but will need to make their own travel arrangements.

Please spread the word! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide. 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. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask] Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. 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 announcement 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. The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
