University of Toronto's Symplectic Geometry Seminar

Spring 2006

The symplectic geometry seminars are held Mondays 2:10--3:00PM in Bahen Room 6183.

Symplectic Lunches: We go to lunch at Sylvester's Cafe at 16 Bancroft Avenue on Mondays right before the seminars. We meet there at 12:30PM. Please join us.
