* For questions or comments regarding ICERM facilities, including ICERM's web site (rather than this wiki), please see or email Jeff Hoffstein. This is likely to lead to a faster response than contacting a program organizer.
 
* The 10th floor classroom is available as a collaborative space. The ICERM conference room is available as a quiet working space, especially for graduate students. To book one of these rooms for an activity, see Danielle Izzi at the front desk.
 
* ICERM has posted a [https://icerm.brown.edu/visitors/ list of visitors] with arrival and departure dates.
 
* Jeff Hoffstein will be teaching a graduate course this semester that may be of interest to some junior participants. See [[ICERM fall 2015 past announcements|past announcements]] for the description.
 
* ICERM is soliciting proposals for their new [https://icerm.brown.edu/participate/ Collaborate@ICERM program], in which groups of 3-6 gather for focused research. Applications from collaborations originating from semester programs are especially encouraged!
 
 
== This week's schedule ==
 
 
'''The week of November 30-December 4'''
 
 
Unusual this week: John Voight's course has concluded. On Wednesday, ICERM will provide special cake for the coffee break at 3:30. On Thursday, there is no minicourse or research seminar; instead, we have an extended problem session starting at 3pm to allow time for progress reports. On Friday, there is no algebraic geometry seminar at Brown.

Past announcements/schedules

Key contacts

  • ICERM issues (their web site, building, computer facilities): Jeff Hoffstein.
  • Research seminar: Alina Bucur.
  • Minicourses: John Jones, Kiran Kedlaya, Holly Swisher.
  • Workshops: their respective organizers.
  • This wiki: any program organizer (Bucur, Conrey, Farmer, Jones, Kedlaya, Rubinstein, Swisher, Voight).
  • LMFDB mailing list and development: David Farmer.
  • Problem session: John Cremona.
  • Brown seminars: Dan Abramovich, Joe Silverman, Steve Lichtenbaum.

Weekly schedule template

Effective Sep 14-Dec 4, excluding workshop weeks (Sep 28-Oct 3, Oct 19-23, Nov 9-13) and holidays (Oct 12, Nov 26-27). For seminars at Brown, see below for directions.

The following activities are for graduate students/postdocs only, and so will not be listed in the weekly schedule: Peer to Peer Seminar; professional development roundtables; Jeff Hoffstein's graduate course.

Each week's schedule will be finalized and transmitted to ICERM the previous Thursday evening. If you make any changes after that time, please also notify Jeff Hoffstein so that ICERM can copy the changes over.

How to read this table: each row represents a 30-minute time block starting at the specified time. For instance, the research seminar starts at 4pm on Thursday.

Getting to Brown

The Brown math department is located in Kassar House, at the corner of Thayer St. and George St. Options for getting there:

  • Walk up the steep hill on Hopkins St., which becomes George. Allow 15 minutes.
  • Take the bus from the stop at Waterman and North Main towards campus, get off at the first stop (tunnel and Thayer) and turn right (towards the tall tower that is the Science Library) on Thayer. The math department is 1.5 blocks that way. The bus costs $2.
  • Brown runs a shuttle that stops across the street from ICERM and then goes to campus. You need to show a Brown ID to board. See schedule/tracker.
