Greetings,

We will have three parallel sessions for contributed talks, but to make up for it, we will try to accommodate all reasonable and timely requests to avoid collisions between talks that the same person might want to attend. Contributed talk sessions allow for 15 minute presentations followed by 5 minute discussions, followed by 5 minute breaks.

We will include here the latest communications and changes when needed. Here is the first one: parking on weekends is free on all parking areas including parking meters, apart from reserved areas

If you would like to make your presentation using a laptop and projector, please bring a copy of your presentation on a USB flash drive, so that it can be loaded on the session chairperson's laptop ahead of time?

If your expenses will be partially paid by the NSA grant, please fill out this Travel Expense Form and sent it to Catherine Yan after the meeting, along with any receipts that you may have.

In addition to his Saturday lecture, professor Robertson will also give two seminar talks this Friday (April 24) at Texas A&M University in  Galveston. Please view the announcement and directions and let us know if you could share a ride from UH Hilton, or Country Inn to this seminar. Please write to Siemion Fajtlowicz (email: math0@Bayou.UH.EDU) if you have questions.

Finally, if you will arrive early enough, on Friday night some of us plan to meet for a late dinner at the UH Hilton, which closes at 10 PM, or a close-by Kim Son's restaurant - favorite of many UH students (direction) - which closes at midnight on Fridays .

We are looking forward to seeing you in Houston,

Art Duval, Siemion Fajtlowicz, Daniela Ferrero, and Catherine Yan
