AMS Special Session on Combinatorial Ideals and Applications
 Location: AMS Spring Central Sectional Meeting, North Dakota State University, April 16-17, 2016.
 Organizers: Laura Matusevich, Christopher O'Neill.
 Registration: Available through the AMS Page, opens January 25th, 2016.
The goal of this Special Session is to explore recent advances in the study of combinatorial ideals. A wide range of related research areas will be discussed, such as discrete and lattice point geometry, algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, computational algebra, algebraic geometry and representation theory. Talks will emphasize how combinatorial ideals frequently act as bridges between these different areas, as well as applications resulting from these connections.
Session Dinner
A session dinner will be held on Saturday, April 16th at 7:00pm at Bangkok Corner.
Rides will be arranged on Saturday afternoon. If you would like to attend dinner, please contact the organizers.
