Mission Statement

The Texas Geometry and Topology Conference (TGTC) is dedicated to the enhancement of both the educational and the research atmosphere of the community of geometers and topologists in Texas and surrounding states. The TGTC has three specific goals:

• The TGTC is committed to bring researchers of national and international stature to the region to discuss their research and to interact with mathematicians from Texas and surrounding states.
• The TGTC provides the community of geometers and topologists from Texas and surrounding states a convenient forum to meet and share mathematics on a regular basis.  The geographic region is so large that few reasonable alternatives exist.  The conference strongly encourages both individual research and productive cooperative efforts between schools.
• The TGTC is committed to the strengthening and enrichment of the mathematics personnel base.  Graduate students, junior faculty, women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are especially encouraged to participate.
