The 21st Bay Area Discrete Math Day (BADMath Day) will take place at the Mathematical Research Science Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley on Saturday, October 16, 2010 between 9 AM and 5 PM. All talks will be held in the Simons Auditorium @ MSRI. Note that up to -4 days (or, depending on the source, +3 days) this BADMath Day takes place 10 years after the very first BADMath Day in Davis! BADMath Days are one-day meetings aimed at facilitating communication between researchers and graduate students of discrete mathematics around the San Francisco Bay Area. These days happen twice a year and strive to create an informal atmosphere to talk about discrete mathematics. The term "discrete mathematics" is chosen to include at least 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.

Parking options are

• the MSRI parking: the upper two rows of parking just above Lawrence Hall of science. Make sure to pick up a permit for your dashboard from the box at the stairs leading to the MSRI; you will be ticketed otherwise.
• the Space Sciences Lab parking lot just above MSRI. It's free on Saturdays.
• there is some half-official street parking if everything else fails.

If you are planning to come by public transporation: there is no MSRI shuttle on weekends, but the AC Transit #65 takes you from Downtown Berkeley BART station to the MSRI at 8:30 or 9:30, arriving 8:53 or 9:53 respectively.
Make sure you have $2 in small change.

We will be helping to organize carpools. If you are driving and have room for passengers or if you would like to be a passenger, then please contact a local organizer near you.
