Notes:

On Saturday, July 28 there will be a "field trip" to Volunteer Park so bring money for the bus (the fare is $2.50 each way, exact change is required). We will depart as a group from McMahon Hall at 5:30.
Tuesday, July 31 will be a free day before the start of the Workshop on Wednesday, August 1.

Discussion and Problem Sessions:

The Discussion and Problem Sessions will be an oppertunity to ask questions about concepts/topics from the morning lectures. In addition, the summer school speakers will also give problems for participants to work on during the afternoon sessions. Three sessions will run concurrently with a session corresponding to each of the morning talks. Participants are welcome to move from one session to another at the coffee break.
