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.
Monday Evenings 5:00 - 7:00 PM 114 North Hall (Women's Center Library)
and Thursdays 6-8pm in Surge IV (Scholars' Center study room).
If you are speaking in the
Discrete Mathematics Seminar
here is some information
for speakers.

Local Highlights:
The
2008
Math Fest
will be July 23.
This event is open to the public, and high school students and their families are
especially encouraged to attend.
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
Bay Area Discrete Math Day
will be at
MSRI, April 5, 2008.
Please register
in advance, RSVP for lunch and dinner, and contact Fu Liu about carpooling.
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,
and SFSU on Saturday, April 14, 2007,

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,
