Seminar on alteration and resolution

This semester we will have a learning seminar on alteration and resolution of singularities, which is also a class project for students in the class Algebraic geometry II.

If you are interested in giving a talk, send me an email.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays, 10:10-12:00, Room 77201, BICMR.

Everyone is welcome, but registration is required for logistic purpose. Fill the registration form by May 9th for the second part of the lectures.
