All talks will be held in the seminar room at the Pacific Institute for the  Mathematical Sciences at 1933 West Mall on the U.B.C. campus. West Mall is the road leading directly into the Museum of Anthropology.  See the campus map for details.

There will be a dinner on Saturday evening at one of the local Greek, Indian or Thai restaurants. We will have the traditional dim sum lunch at the Miramar Restaurant after the second talk on Sunday.

In addition to the support from the PNGS NSF grant, there is also some additional support from PIMS. Our first priority is to use this money for graduate student expenses, including those of the local students.
