Where We'll Be.
The conference will be held on the Rose-Hulman Campus in Terre Haute, Indiana.
The location of the Friday evening parties will be included in your registration
packet.
Contributed talks will be on the second floor of Crapo Hall, and the invited
talks will be in E-104 Moench Hall which is just below the auditorium. We'll
eat lunch in the Hulman Memorial Union. Here's a campus map and
here's a local

Meals
The conference officially opens after lunch on Friday, March 21. Your registration
fees (which is free for speakers) will cover the cost of lunch on Friday, refreshments
during the meeting, dinner on Friday, and lunch on Saturday. All meals will be
located in the Hulman Memorial Union in the Louise Kahn Room (formerly the west-side
of the North Room.)
Lodging
Students can choose to bunk up with Rose-Hulman students free of charge. (Arrangements
will be made by the organizers and students choosing this option will be told
where they are sleeping during the meeting on Friday.) Otherwise, conference
participants should reserve rooms as far in advance as possible. There are several
other events in Terre Haute during the March 21-23 weekend. The Drury Inn, the
Pear-Tree Inn, and Sycamore Farms are offering discounted rates to those who
mention the "Rose-Hulman Math Conference." Many of the motels listed below are
in the same location about 7 miles from Rose-Hulman around the intersection of
I-70 and US-41 (Exit 7 from I-70). The bed and breakfast is about a mile from
Rose-Hulman and offers a real touch of class for those who like bed and breakfasts
(they only have four rooms, so book early!)
To get from I-70 & US-41 to Rose-Hulman, head on I-70 East and take exit
11. Head north 3 miles on US-46 (the exit turns 180 degrees from the freeway,
and you'll make a right turn at the stop sign) and turn right on US-40 (where
US-46 terminates.) Rose-Hulman is on your left, so take the first paved left
turn. Here is a campus
map. Here's a local
