NOON THEORY SEMINAR -- FALL 2004

Our informal group seminar meets most Fridays from 11-12, followed by a group lunch. If you would like to give a talk please send me email.

Please note that due to scheduling constraints the theory seminar will be moving between two rooms this semester;  room 3464 (the Math-CS conference room) and room 3501.  Please check the week's listing for that week's actual  venue. Also,  occasionally, talks will be given out of the normal Friday, 11-12 slot.  Such talks will be highlighted in red.

For information on how to get to HKUST  see this and this.
