Geometry, Graphics, Vision, Visualization/Simulation (G2V2) Seminar

Fall'03 Meeting Time: I hope we can meet generally on FRIDAYS 12:50pm 6th Period(somewhat different from last semester) However, on some weeks, based on speakers' requirements, we may move it to some other time entirely (see calendar below).
