Workshop on Tropical Geometry
Loughborough University, 21 - 23 April 2007
Organisers:
Rod Halburd,
Alexander Veselov
and
Alexey Bolsinov.
The meeting will be a combination of mini-courses and talks related to tropical geometry.
The LMS has provided funding for the participation of UK PhD students. There are
limited funds available for the support of European participants through the European Science Foundation's MISGAM project.
This meeting follows the
London Mathematical Society Midlands Regional Meeting.

Location
All talks will be in room W001 in the Sir David Davies Building at
Loughborough University. This is building W at the
western end of
campus
and
contains the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the
Department of Physics.
How to get to Loughborough
Here you can find a map of
the campus of Loughborough University
and some general instructions on
how to reach the university.
For those arriving by train, there is normally a good taxi service.
Alternatively, a bus shuttle service departs from Loughborough
Station every 10 minutes
(Kinchbus No 7.) The bus
stops in the Town Centre
outside the Griffin Inn at the top of Market Street and continues
past the School of Art and
Design (LUSAD) entering the University campus on Epinal Way. It
travels along University Road,
which bisects the campus along its length, and turns near the
Department of Mechanical
Engineering (which is just 50 m. from our Department) to return to
the Rail Station by the same route.
If you arrive by car, the easiest way to reach the campus by car
is via the M1,
exit at junction 23; take the A512
towards Loughborough, and at the
first roundabout go right and then left. The first building you come
to is the Sir David Davies Building ,
which hosts the
Mathematical Sciences and the Department of
Physics.
Alternatively, if you arrive through Loughborough town center,
take the A512
heading South: this passes on the side of the campus (the science and
engineering buildings
are the furthest from the town center). Turn left at the "British Gas
roundabout" and then
left as above.
