Geometry of Polynomials Reunion

Program

Geometry of Polynomials

Date

Tuesday, Sept. 8 – Friday, Sept. 11, 2020

About

Because of COVID-19, we cannot schedule in-person events on the Berkeley campus through December 2020. This workshop will take place online.

This reunion workshop is for long-term participants in the program "Geometry of Polynomials" held in the Spring 2019 semester. It will provide an opportunity to meet old and new friends. Moreover, we hope that it will give everyone a chance to reflect on the progress made during the semester and since, and sketch which directions the field should go in the future. In an effort to keep things informal and to encourage open discussion, none of the activities will be recorded. Participation in the workshop is by invitation only.

If you require accommodation for communication, information about mobility access, or have dietary restrictions, please contact our Access Coordinator at simonsevents@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible.
