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.
