Discrete Mathematics Days in the Northeast

This conference series is a continuation of the CoNE conferences that were held at Smith College for 9 years and the more recent ``Discrete Math Days in New England''. If you would like to host one of these meetings at your institution, please contact one of the members of the steering committee. We have a current NSA grant to defray most of the expenses of hosting a meeting.

Discrete Mathematics Days in the Northeast:

As you may know, this is part of a series of one-day conferences, titlted "Discrete Mathematics Days in the Northeast" and styled after the earlier "CoNE" meetings. These meetings are supported mainly from an NSA grant. Information on the meetings in 2004 and 2005 can be found here. Previous meetings were held at U Mass Amherst, Dartmouth College, SUNY Albany, University of Rhode Island, WPI, and SUNY Binghamton.

Local organizers: Seth Chaiken , Cristian Lenart, and S. S. Ravi.


Supported by the NSA; local support from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Computer Science.
