Warwick Algebraic Geometry Seminar

Term 2 2010/11


The Warwick Algebraic Geometry Seminar takes place on Wednesday afternoons at 2pm in B3.02. We also occasionally wander around the country to attend the COW seminar on Thursdays. All are welcome.

Last term's seminar schedule is available here.

Directions to the University are available here. The Mathematics institute is in the Zeeman Building, which is number 37 on the map available here. Warning: The University of Warwick is not in the town of Warwick, but on the outskirts of Coventry - the correct train stations are Coventry or Leamington Spa (closer if coming from Oxford).
