Bay Area Discrete Math Day (BAD Math)

BAD Math Days are one-day meetings designed to facilitate communication between San Francisco Bay Area researchers and graduate students of discrete mathematics. These days happen twice a year and offer an informal atmosphere to discuss discrete mathematics. The term discrete mathematics is chosen to include at least one of the following topics: Algebraic and Enumerative Combinatorics, Discrete Geometry, Graph Theory, Coding and Design Theory, Combinatorial Aspects of Computational Algebra and Geometry, Combinatorial Optimization, Probabilistic Combinatorics, Combinatorial Aspects of Statistics, and Combinatorics in Mathematical Physics.

One of the goals of BAD Math Day is to create a supportive and welcoming environment for all!  For this reason, we ask you to be mindful of your words and actions when communicating with others.  If there is a situation during the conference that makes you feel unwelcome, please talk to one of the organizers so we can help you. We are here to support and learn with you!

Students, you are welcome! We have asked our speakers to prepare talks that are accessible to you.

We gratefully acknowledge funding support from the UC Berkeley Math Department and:
