NEW WEBPAGE

This is an old seminar webpage. The current seminar webpage is here.

The Harvard/MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar will alternate between MIT (Room 4-370, unless otherwise stated) and Harvard (Room 507) on Tuesdays. For directions to MIT Room 4-370, click here. You can see last semester's seminars here.
