Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium comes to WashU
On Nov. 4 and 5, Wash U hosted the Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium (WAGS), a twice-yearly meeting of algebraic geometers in the western half of the United States and Canada. WashU event organizers — including Roya Beheshti Zavareh, Matthew Kerr and Wanlin Li, in Arts & Sciences — believe this was the largest conference organized by the math department in recent years, with approximately 150 participants.
