All talks and demos will be Cockins Hall CH 240 (Cockins Hall is adjacent to the old Mathematics Building).
There is time in the schedule for
small-group discussions in several rooms reserved for this purpose:
rooms
JR 221, 291, 295
in the building just across from the Mathematics Department.
Although only three rooms
were reserved,
there are about ten classrooms on that floor
and all of them will be
empty (due to break week).
