Schedule and Abstracts of Talks

Here is the schedule of talks.

And here are the abstracts (which were due on April 15, 2024).

Registration

Send email to Charles N. Delzell delzell@math.lsu.edu.

Conference Hotel

The conference hotel is:

The Cook Hotel at LSU
3848 West Lakeshore Drive
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808
1-225-383-COOK (2665)
www.thecookhotel.com

Prior to April 8 we reserved a block of rooms at Cook (with check-in May 8 after 3:00 PM, and check-out May 11 by 11:00 AM). Most of those rooms were requested by and assigned to participants prior to April 8, when the hotel had to release any unassigned rooms to the general public. You may check current availability of rooms by contacting:

Tammy Brown
Director of Sales
The Cook Hotel
Office: 225-388-1003
Cell: 225-978-4143
tammy@lsualumni.org

Mention to her your interest in the math conference. Let her and the organizers know if you wish to arrive or depart on days other than the above.

If you wish to share a room at the Cook Hotel but you do not have a roommate in mind, please let the organizers know; we will keep a list and let you know who else might be seeking roommates.

Registration Fee

Registration fee: \$50.00. This will cover refreshments served during the conference and a catered dinner at the Delzells' house on Friday. The fee will be collected on the first day of the conference.

Travel

How to get to LSU: If you let us know several days in advance when your plane will land at the Baton Rouge airport (BTR), we'll try to pick you up. A taxi, if used, costs approximately \$25-\$30 from the Baton Rouge airport to the Cook Hotel. Uber costs \$20-\$30. If you're driving to Baton Rouge, check Google maps.
