There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
The 2018 Meeting on Applied Algebraic Geometry (MAAG 2018) will be hosted by the School of Mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology on April 7-8, 2018.
MAAG is a regional gathering that attracts participants primarily from the Southeast of the United States. Previous meetings took place at Georgia Tech in 2015 and at Clemson University in 2016.
Organizers of MAAG 2018 have invited several speakers from outside the Southeastern U.S. and are open to "longer distance" participants as well. Some funding is available to participate (see registration form, priority is given to students).
The main event on Saturday, April 7, will be followed by an informal Numerical Algebraic Geometry day on Sunday, April 8, which all participants are encouraged to attend.
Registration is free until March 1. After March 1, 2018, registration is $40.
