Seminar
Gordana Matic is in charge of the topology seminar this semester. You can find the department's seminar schedule here. Here's a list of upcoming topology seminars (to the limited extent that we know them):
Conferences
Each summer we host the Georgia Topology conference. The 2009 conference will be a large multi-week conference. For additional information see our conference webpage.
Further Information:
The Graduate Bulletin of our department has information for prospective graduate students and is available online. If you are interested in graduate studies in topology, and you would like further information on our group, do not hesitate to contact any of us.
