Fall Semester 2013-2014 will be very exciting. UConn will host a one-semester long event in Differential Geometry. The activities will include a Distinguished Lecture Series by Prof. Richard Schoen and several talks by well-known mathematicians throughout the semester. These talks are aimed at a general audience
This event is supported by
