The Mathematics Department of Rice University …



The Mathematics Department of Rice University would like to invite you to attend a small conference for mathematics majors February 10-12. You were recommended highly to us! The goal of this biennial conference is to

stimulate interest in an area of current research in mathematics. This year’s topic is Algebraic Geometry. See the conference homepage:



Several research mathematicians will discuss classical and current results and open questions. Abstracts of the talks will soon appear on the conference homepage. There will also be several interactive sessions. We think this will be very exciting and we hope that you will attend.

If you plan to attend, fill out the application below and return it by e-mail.

What we will do:

1. After you give us your travel receipts, Rice will reimburse your expenses, including transportation costs up to $350.

2. We will reserve and pay for a hotel room for Friday and Saturday nights. We will book two attendees (of the same sex) per room unless there are special circumstances.

3. We will make every effort to provide transportation from the airport to Rice (if you arrive at a reasonable hour).

4. We will provide a buffet dinner on Friday at 6:30pm, lunch on Saturday and a "pizza party" on Saturday night.

What you should do:

1. Talk it over with your advisor and make a decision.

2. Immediately make plane reservations (unless you are driving) and buy your ticket. Please contact us if your transportation costs will exceed $350. The first lecture will be 8pm Friday and there will be a buffet at 6:30pm. Even if you must miss the buffet, please try to attend to the Friday lecture since it will be a general introduction to the whole conference. There are two airports in Houston: Hobby (HOU) and Intercontinental (IAH). The former is a little closer to Rice but either will work.

3. Fill out the form below and inform us of any special considerations.

Sincerely,

Robert Hardt
