Announcing UnKnot III: The Undergraduate Knot Theory Conference this summer at Denison University in Granville, OH July 31-August 03, 2016.  

Please note that registration, abstract submission, housing and shuttle requests are available at: www.denison.edu/unknot

There will be a workshop at the conference on 3D printing knots by Professor Laura Taalman.

UnKnot III is aimed at undergraduate faculty and students who are interested in knot theory and research on knot theory.  Keynote speakers include Colin Adams, Jason Cantarella, Louis Kauffman, Laura Taalman, and Lisa Trainer.  and plenary speakers: Barbara Nimershiem, Dianna Hubbard, Elizabeth Denne, Eric Radon, Hugh Howard, Inga Johnson, Lew Ludwig, and Rollie Trapp.  In addition to keynote and plenary talks, we will have 15 minute contributed talks by students as well as faculty members.  We hope you will consider speaking. Talks can be either research or exposition.  

Through an NSF grant, we have funding to help offset the cost of travel to the conference for students as well as a large number of faculty members.  Students include current undergraduates or graduate students who did undergraduate knot theory research or who are interested in doing research with undergraduates at some point.  Please tell any colleagues and students for whom this might be of interest. An announcement flyer is attached.  Additional information will be available at the conference website at www.denison.edu/unknot

Denison is a short 30-minute drive from Columbus, Ohio, location of MathFest 2016 occurring August 3-6, right after UnKnot III.  Shuttle services will be available to take UnKnot attendees to MathFest on Wednesday afternoon if they choose.  In addition, there will be a special Invited Paper Session at MathFest on Open and Accessible Problems in Knot Theory.  Consider making it a week of mathematics starting with UnKnot and ending at MathFest!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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]
