Harvard/MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar
Spring 2005: Tuesdays 3:00-4:00

NEW WEBPAGE

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

Rahul Pandharipande would like to point out to the participants of the seminar the webpage for the Seattle '05 Summer Institute in Algebraic Geometry.

The Harvard/MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar will alternate between MIT (Room 4-163, unless specified otherwise) and Harvard (Room 507) on Tuesdays. For directions to MIT Room 4-163, click here. You can see last semester's seminars here.
