2013 Conference
General Information
During the Spring of 2013, Fifth Discrete Geometry and Algebraic Combinatorics Conference is organized by the Department of Mathematics of The University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College (UTB/TSC). This event is being held from April 17 to April 20, 2013 on South Padre Island. The event is partially supported by the National Security Agency.
