This is a preliminary announcement for the fourteenth Union College Mathematics Conference. This year the conference topics are algebraic topology, category theory, commutative algebra, differential geometry, and statistics.
In addition to invited lectures, there will also be shorter contributed talks in parallel sessions. Anyone interested in giving such a talk should contact one of the organizers.
The meeting will begin with an evening reception on Friday, October 18, and end on Sunday afternoon. More information will be available at the Union College Mathematics Department website (www.math.union.edu) in June.
