THEORY CANAL: The Rochester Theory Seminar Series 2013-2014


The THEORY CANAL meeting (the Rochester Theory Seminar) is a joint project of the RIT and UR theory groups, and the focus is all areas of theoretical computer science. THEORY CANAL meets (when RIT and UR classes are in session) on the first and third Mondays of each month. (Due to slot demand, school holidays, and religious holidays, there are sometimes exceptions to that rule: Mondays of that form that we skip and Mondays not of that form that we don't skip. So see the schedule below for the actual dates.) The talks (exceptions if any will be noted in the detailed list below) start at 12:30PM, and typically run 50-60 minutes. (Of course, plans can change and at the start of the year some of the listings may be tentative; so please make sure you are subscribed to the Theory Canal mailing list---how to do so is described below---so that you hear of all changes in speakers/topics/etc.!)

The Meetings this year will be held (except as noted otherwise below) in Room 703, Computer Studies Building, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627.

The meetings are open to the public; all are very welcome.
