Statement of inclusiveness: We are a group of scholars, researchers, and teachers. We refuse to compromise the ideals of academic freedom and open exchange. We affirm that scientific events have to be open to everybody, regardless of race, sex, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, pregnancy, immigration status, or any other aspect of identity. We believe that such events have to be supportive, inclusive, and safe environments for all participants. We believe that all participants are to be treated with dignity and respect. Discrimination and harassment cannot be tolerated. We are committed to ensuring that the scientific events in which we participate follow these principles.

Transportation: Madison is accessible by bus from Chicago, Minneapolis or Milwaukee (VanGalder Buses, Badger Bus, Mega bus). There is also an airport (MSN) with direct flights to Detroit and Chicago among other places. Alternatively, you can reach Madison by car (e.g. 3 hours from Chicago, 4 hours from Urbana, 5 hours from Purdue.) We can reimburse mileage if you drive and bus tickets with receipts but if you plan on flying to Madison you need to contact the UW math department to book your ticket.

Lodging: We have reserved (shared) rooms for participants at the Lowell Center which is a 5 minute walk from the math department.

Varsity Band Concert: Madison's Annual Varsity Band Concert is a spectacle worth checking out.
