ZASSENHAUS GROUP THEORY CONFERENCE 2003
University of Evansville
March 14-16, 2003
The Department of Mathematics and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are pleased to be hosting the Zassenhaus Group Theory Conference. The format will be similar to past conferences with four technical sessions: one Friday afternoon March 14 , two on Saturday March 15 and one on Sunday morning March 16. We are planning to have most meals catered on campus. This will include a continental breakfast Saturday and Sunday, snacks in the afternoons, lunch Saturday and the banquet meal Friday night. The conference fee is $25. For those attending the banquet only (spouses and guests) the fee is $20.

They will also provide transportation to and from the conference and the airport as part of their package. Call them at (877) 424-0888 to make reservations. Be sure give them your itinerary and they will pick you up from the Evansville Regional Airport if you are flying. Mention Zassenhaus Group Theory Conference/UE to get conference rate. Their fax is (877) 424-8999 and their email Exec@evansville.net. Reservation need to be made by February 12, 2003.
We would like for our speakers to submit an extended abstract up to two pages to be part of the conference record. These abstracts will be bound and distributed at the conference. Submissions should be via email in some flavor of TeX.
Below is a list of participants that have indicated they plan to attend and whether they will be giving talks (as of 2/26/2003). We will continue to update this list.

The tentative schedule for the technical program: Schedule of Talks
We will be using Koch Center 100 for the technical program. This room has 6 chalkboards, 1 overhead projector, and a Windows computer (with overhead projection) with Powerpoint, and a connection to the Internet.
Koch Center is building 9 on the Campus Map and for those driving parking is available in parking lot C.
The Executive Inn is about 10 minutes drive (20 blocks) from campus. The campus is about 10 minutes from the airport and the Executive in is about 15 minutes from the airport. Here is a simple local map : Area Map and some directions below:
