Geography

Click here for a web-friendly map of the University of York main (Heslington) campus, which is where the meeting will be held. Wentworth College is building no. 29, and Goodricke College (which houses the Department of Mathematics) is building no. 24. To find Goodricke SCR, take the stairs in the main college entrance (by the porter's desk) upto the first floor, and at the top turn left and left again. Room G045 is a teaching room on the ground floor, close to the main entrance. If you have trouble finding any of these venues, ask at Goodricke porter's desk.

 

Click here for a campus map highlighting all the car parks. Parking is available in any of the four General Car Parks (North, South, West or Central), of which South is most convenient, but be sure to feed the Pay and Display machine: £1 for 5 hours. We will reimburse this charge. (However, we won't reimburse the cost of removing a wheel clamp!)

Click here for a map of the university in relation to the City of York, including the location of York railway station. The distance from the station to campus is about 1.5 miles. Bus no. 4 (the Turquoise Line) calls just outside the station and stops on University Road under the bridge connecting buildings 8 (Library) and 9 (Computer Services) on the campus map; it runs (in theory) every 10 minutes.

 

This meeting is the third Yorkshire Durham Geometry Day to be held during the 2004/05 academic year, organized by geometers at the Universities of Durham, Leeds and York. The local organizers are:

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