Midwest Topology Seminar

The Midwest Topology Seminar is a topology seminar which has run since the middle 1960's, meeting Fall, Winter and Spring of each year. Traditionally, in each year, two of the meetings are in Chicago, and one is outside Chicago.

Funding

Recently the NSF has renewed its support for the Midwest Topology Seminar. The money is especially intended for graduate students and junior faculty without other support. We expect that the sponsoring institutions would provide other funds in conjunction with this NSF support. People seeking support should contact the organizers of the meeting in question. NSF logo

Still to come

This page is primarily intended as an easy way for people to find the date, location and schedule of the next meeting, but it also serves to preserve some of the history as well. If you have suggestions, or things to contribute, please contact Bob Bruner at rrb@math.wayne.edu .

Other things which might go here are:

  1. An archive of past meetings. I have what can be gleaned from Larry Taylor's MWTOPSEM archive, but that only goes back to 1994. It would be nice to get copies of the schedule of talks from early meetings. If you have such, I can scan them if they are in good condition, or find someone to transcribe them, if not.
  2. Something about the history of the Midwest Topology Seminar, as it is a rather unique non-institution.
  3. Directions to the meeting sites. (After a few rounds this ought to be pretty complete, and serve as an easy way to find directions to any department in the midwest with algebraic topologists in it.)
  4. Pointers to other algebraic topology web pages.
