WClips/Navigation

Back to WKO.
Next Meetings. On Wednesday March 28 we will have an out-of-sequence not-on-video meeting to watch and discuss the video of my talk at George Washington University (see Talks: GWU-1203). On Wednesday April 4, 2012, 12-2, at Bahen 4010 we will return to the main sequence and talk about Section 3.7, "the Alexander polynomial".

Announcements. small circle, wide circle, UofT, LDT Blog (also here). Email Dror to join our mailing list!

Resources. How to use this site, Dror's notebook, blackboard shots.
