Directions, Parking and Accommodations:
You can find directions and information about parking at WPI here. We have arranged for DMD participants to park in the staff parking lot off John Wing Road (which is the driveway to Higgins House, off Salisbury Street) on Sunday; no parking pass will be required on that day.
The presentations will take place in Kinnicut Hall, which is Room 115 in Salisbury Labs. Salisbury is building number 28 on this map and is adjacent to the water fountain at the center of the campus.
Here is a list of local accommodations, and a list of area dining (including too many that are not within walking distance).
If you are in need of further assistance, contact Bill Martin.
Discrete Mathematics Days in the Northeast:
As you may know, this is part of a series of one-day conferences, titlted "Discrete Mathematics Days in the Northeast". Information on previous meetings in the series can be found here.
Local organizer: William Martin.
Supported by the National Security Agency through the Steering Committee for Discrete Math Days in the Northeast.
