The Mathematics Colloquium at Rutgers-Newark2011-2012 |
|---|
On alternate Wednesdays, the student colloquium features talks
which are aimed in particular to be accessible to graduate
students. Again, all are welcome.
Directions to Math. Department:
By train: Take NJ Transit to
Newark Penn Station (you can look at www.njtransit.com ). You can
take a short cab ride to the department (101 Warren St.), or you
can take the Newark Light Rail/City Subway (entrance by McDonald's
in Newark Penn station) to Washington Street (take the train
toward the Grove St stop). For the Light Rail, you should
buy a ticket and validate it before you get on the train (I think
it's 65 cents). From the Washington St. city Subway station,
there's a campus
map. The city subway comes out on Raymond Blvd. between
University Av. and Washington St. The math dept at Rutgers Newark
is in Smith Hall, 101 Warren St. My office is 314.
By car: Here is the direction
to the campus. For parking, you will want to go to the Bradley
lot. To get there, follow the online directions to Parking
Deck 1, which will be on your left off University Av. Then take
the next right onto Warren St. The Bradley lot will be the
first lot on your left (after the sports field). Smith Hall
will be across Warren St, and again there's a campus map.
