The UTA Department of Mathematics is hosting a minisymposium on Friday, November 30, 2007 during 10:00 am-3:00 pm in 304 PKH on the UTA campus. The goal is to initiate various scientific interactions in areas involving mathematical sciences and applications between scientists at UT Arlington and UT Southwestern. The minisymposium will be an informal one and it will help us to learn about each other's scientific problems and needs.

The minisymposium will take place in PKH 304 (Pickard Hall, Room 304). Our UTSW colleagues should park in the Maverick Parking Garage next to Pickard Hall (adjacent to and just to the north of Pickard Hall). The directions to the UTA campus is available at our departmental contact webpage.
