Geography

Click here for a web-friendly map of the University of York main (Heslington) campus, which is where the meeting will be held. The same map is also available as a PDF file

Goodricke College is building no. 22, and Goodricke SCR is on the first floor with a magnificent view over the university lake. To find the SCR, take the stairs by Goodricke porter's lodge and turn double left at the top. (Please note that this is not part of the Department of Mathematics, which is situated in Vanbrugh College).

Car parking is available in the Campus West car park, which is located just right of building no. 17 on the map, and accessed from Heslington Lane. This car park is unsupervised, but anyone parking here is strongly advised to display a day permit in order to avoid encountering a University wheel clamp; day permits will be available (free of charge) at the meeting.

There will be four Yorkshire Differential Geometry Days during the 2000/01 academic year, organized by geometers at the Universities of Hull, Leeds and York. The local organizers are:

Yorkshire Differential Geometry Days are supported by a Scheme 3 grant from the London Mathematical Society.
