Mathematics meetings in Lexington
In the spring of 2010, the University of Kentucky will host two regional mathematics meetings. The Kentucky Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) will hold its annual meeting on the 26 and 27 March 2010 and the American Mathematics Society (AMS) will hold the 2010 Spring Southeastern Sectional meeting on 27 and 28 March. By holding these meetings in the same location, we hope to help strengthen ties between the Kentucky mathematics community and mathematicians from outside the state.
