The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas announces the 41st Arkansas Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences which will be on April 14-17, 2016. April 14th will include a graduate mini-workshop during the day and a public lecture in the evening. Talks will start on Friday 4/15 at 9am and will end no later than 1pm on Sunday, 4/17. The Principal Speaker is John Etnyre from Georgia Tech who will be giving a series of five lectures titled "Submanifolds in Contact Topology." Invited Speakers are: *John Baldwin (Boston College) *Roger Casals (MIT) *Chris Cornwell (CIRGET/UQAM) *Emmy Murphy (MIT) *Olga Plamenevskaya (Stonybrook) *Laura Starkson (Stanford) *Bulent Tosun (Virginia) *Shea Vela-Vick (LSU) *Chris Wendl (University College London) On Thursday, 4/14, 9am-5pm we will hold a workshop for graduate students and all participants are encouraged to attend. On the night of Thursday, 4/14, at 7pm we will hold a public lecture by Reviel Netz "What Have We Learned from the Archimedes Palimpsest?" There is funding available from the NSF to support participant travel. Early career mathematicians, graduate students, women and members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. For more information please visit the conference web page at: comp.uark.edu/~jv002/sls.html see the announcement at http://fulbright.uark.edu/departments/math/news-and-events/spring-lecture-series-event.php and register at http://fulbright.uark.edu/departments/math/news-and-events/2016-spring-lecture-series.php For questions please email Jeremy Van Horn Morris at [log in to unmask] or contact the University of Arkansas Department of Mathematical Sciences at http://fulbright.uark.edu/departments/math/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to almost 1500 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. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. 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. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask] The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
