[ugrads] [Mathclub-members] this weekend: another conference

[Michael Pelsmajer]

For those of you not going to Illiana Undergraduate Mathematics
Conference, there's a math conference downtown. 
http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2153_program.html  I know that at least a
couple people are interested in attending.

It's a research conference, so the talks are generally not intended for
undergraduates.  Thus I wanted to recommend a few talks which seemed to
have a better-than-average chance of being understandable.  However, you
should look at the main program - you can go to any talk that seems
interesting.  These seem like good bets to me:

Friday 11am, Invited talk
http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2153_program_friday.html#2153:GOLUBITSKY
(his work overlaps with Ian Stewart, who writes very well and does nice
stuff)

>From my graph theory session
http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2153_program_ss20.html#title
http://www.iit.edu/~pelsmaje/AMS-Oct2007.html : 

Friday 10:30am Zsuzsanna Szaniszlo, Valparaiso University
  (has been involved w/undergrad research, maybe good to meet her)
Friday 2:30pm Douglas B. West, University of Illinois - Urbana 
  (kind of famous: wrote the graph theory book we use at IIT)
Saturday 9:00am Michael O. Albertson, Smith College 
Saturday 9:30am Marcus Schaefer, DePaul University
  (I work w/him, he visits IIT a lot)
Saturday 10:30am Andre Kundgen, Cal State San Marcos
Saturday 3:30pm or 4:30pm? Josh Cooper, University of South Carolina


Don't worry about not understanding, or even being totally lost.  As
they said at my grad school, "Remember, only the speaker understands it
all!"
