Algebra/Number Theory/Combinatorics Seminars
The Algebra/Number Theory/Combinatorics Seminar of the Claremont Colleges meets on Tuesdays, 12:15 - 1:10 PM.
In Fall 2008, we are meeting at Millikan 211, Pomona College, Department of Mathematics.
The Millikan Laboratory of Pomona College is located at 610 N. College Ave. (Corner of 6th and College Ave.) Click here for a map of the Pomona Campus.
