Perspectives in Geometry
Each year a distinguished geometer visits Austin to give a special short course of six lectures which cover a recent development in geometry. These Perspectives in Geometry lectures are open to all geometers; students and postdocs are especially encouraged to attend. These lectures are designed to be a pathway to enter the field. We plan to videotape the lectures and post the tapes along with written text on this website.
