In 04-05 I was the faculty adviser for the UC Davis
Math Club .
I am currently involved in
Math Cafe, a mathematics-related club at the University of California, Davis,
founded with the goal of encouraging students to succeed and continue their educations
in mathematic fields.
It seeks for ways to let students tackle mathematics more comfortably and confidently
outside of the classroom.
The main focus is on females as they are an underrepresented minority in mathematics,
but all people are welcome to visit.
Winter09 MathCafe meets Tuesday Evenings 5:00 - 7:00 PM
114 North Hall (Women's Center Library).
If you are speaking in the
Discrete Mathematics Seminar
here is some information
for speakers.

Some upcoming
conferences
Local Highlights:
Coming the 11th-13th of September:
Algebra and Topology in Interaction
in honor of Professor Dmitry Fuchs 70th Birthday, at UCD
There will be a special public lecture by Professor Tabachnikov on
Flavors of "bicycle mathematics", very apt for Davis!!!
The 2008 meeting of the
Graduate Student Combinatorics Conference
was April 12-13, 2008 at UC Davis.
Many thanks to the NSF and DE Shaw for their sponsorship and support.
The

was at UCD in Spring 2009.
Past
Bay Area Discrete Math Days
were at
UC Davis campus,
Saturday, October 22, 2005,
and at
Google,
April 2006 and October 2007, at
MSRI
(in Berkeley) on October 21, 2006,

This event is open to the public, and high school students and their families are
especially encouraged to attend.
Our featured speaker was Dr. Dave Perry, Cryptographer.
Hear an

In addition to our
Discrete Mathematics and Representation Theory Seminar,
(and the new Student Run DM & RT Seminar)
there are several seminars around the Bay Area, such as
UCB's
RTG
seminar,
UCB's
Combinatorics
seminar,
