	BU-Harvard-MIT Mathematical Physics Seminar Spring 2002 Tuesday 4:30 - 5:30 at Boston University The seminar is often followed by a dinner with the speaker (please ask at the end of the seminar for details)

Free parking is available at Warren Towers Garage on request. Please email us at least 4 hours in advance stating your full name in the "Subject" field.
From Kenmore Square, make a U-turn at the third set of lights after Howard Johnson's Hotel. Take your first right (onto Hinsdale St) and then turn right again into the Warren Towers garage. Tell the parking attendant that you have come for the Mathematical Physics Seminar.
The seminar is usually held in room 593 of the Physics Research Building which is located at 3-5 Cummington Street.
The mathematics department is located at 111 Cummington Street (directly behind the Warren Towers garage). You should enter from

the east end of the building. The Boston University Center for Mathematical Physics is located on the secound floor.

Warren Towers is building 23, the Mathematics Department is building 24 and the Physics Research Building is building 30 of this map of the BU Charles River campus.
