An Algebraic Topology Proseminar in Eckhart 308 often preceeds the Algebraic Topology Seminar at 2:30, before tea. The proseminar is more informal than the seminar and is indended to prepare students and non-topologists for seminar talks or for discussion of other topics in current topological research. The proseminar is primarily intended for members of the department, but all are welcome to attend.
