The 22nd Bay Area Discrete Math Day (BADMath Day) will
take place at San Francisco State University on
Saturday, April 30, 2011 between 9 AM and 5 PM.
All talks will be held in room SCI 201.
BADMath Days are one-day meetings aimed at facilitating communication between researchers and graduate students of discrete mathematics around the San Francisco Bay Area. These days happen twice a year and strive to create an informal atmosphere to talk about discrete mathematics. The term "discrete mathematics" is chosen to include at least the following topics: Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics, Discrete Geometry, Graph Theory, Coding and Design Theory, Combinatorial Aspects of Computational Algebra and Geometry, Combinatorial Optimization, Probabilistic Combinatorics, Combinatorial Aspects of Statistics, and Combinatorics in Mathematical Physics. |

The registration is closed.
Lunch will be provided on-site (if you registered). There will
also be a dinner following the conference, partially subsidized
by a donation from the D.E. Shaw Group, and everyone is more than
welcome to attend. Both will be vegetarian- and vegan-friendly.
