Since there are classes going on,
we have to change rooms several times on Friday.
Please have a look at this map of campus.
FTX stands for "Fauteux", LMX stands for "Lamoureux".
All talks on Saturday take place in the Department of Mathematics at
585 King Edward Avenue in room B005. The Department is not marked on
the campus map. (We leave speculations open as to whether this omission
reflects the attitude of the university towards its own mathematics
department.) But King Edward Avenue runs north-south on the east side
of Campus, and the building is between Laurier and Osgoode.
2. Registration
There is a registration fee of $50, which covers lunches on Friday and
Saturday, the reception on Friday, as well as snacks during the breaks.
