Symplectic Geometry Seminar
Fall, 2002: Mondays 3:00-4:00, Room 2-142
[Note alternate dates or times (in red ), however, due to travel needs!]

The symplectic geometry seminar will resume this fall. It will be held, in principle, Mondays from 3 to 4 PM in room 2-142 at MIT, though we will frequently have to accomodate speakers' travel plans. For directions to MIT Room 2-142, click here (please note this is a different room from previous semesters).
