UW Optimization Seminar (Winter 2004)

UW OPTIMIZATION SEMINAR

The Optimization Seminar, organized by the Optimization Group comprising Jim Burke, Lisa Korf, Terry Rockafellar, and Paul Tseng, provides an informal gathering for UW faculty, students, and visitors to exchange research interests and ideas on optimization. The final meeting time is yet to be determined this quarter. We will have an organizational meeting and talk this Wednesday at 11:30 in Thomson 215. Comments and questions about the seminar may be directed to Jim Burke during the Winter quarter (burke@math.washington.edu). This seminar may be taken by UW students for credit as Math 530D.
