GSU-USC Commutative Algebra Regional Meeting, September 2008
Atlanta, GA
September 13-14, 2008



The seminar represents a collaborative effort of commutative algebraists at Georgia State University and University of South Carolina to increase exposure of their research area in the South-East through periodic meetings. Each term GSU and USC organize a regional seminar and a national one. This Spring, GSU will organize the national seminar. A regional meeting is held in Columbia in November. For some of the past seminars, see the following links Fall 2007, April 2007, March 2007 or Fall 2006 and earlier.
