Transportation |
You can travel to UCLA by airplane or by car:
By plane: The Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) is closest and most convenient to
UCLA. Other options include Bob Hope (BUR) and
Long Beach (LGB). Less convenient but possible
include John Wayne (SNA), Oxnard (OXR) and Ontario
(ONT). Transportation to UCLA from LAX includes
rental car, shuttle and public transportation.
- Rental cars: A plethora of options are
available. Use your favorite booking method.
- Shuttle: SuperShuttle
provides shared rides to UCLA for reasonable
rates. Reservations can be made in advance.
- Public Transportation: The LA County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority created metro.net
which provides a detailed trip planner. This
trip requires one transfer and costs $6.25.
By car: In addition to the standard sites
for directions and maps, SigAlert
provides detailed real-time traffic information
for the greater Los Angeles area. SigAlert tends
to be (much) more accurate and provides greater
information than, for instance, google and yahoo
traffic maps of Los Angeles.
Parking: Parking in or near UCLA can be
challenging. See this site
for detailed instructions.

The Western Algebraic Geometry Seminar traces
back its origin to the Utah - UCLA Algebraic
Geometry Seminar started in 1989 by H. Clemens, D.
Gieseker, M. Green, J. Kollár, and R.
Lazarsfeld. Later on, it became the Utah - UCLA -
Chicago Algebraic Geometry Seminar.
The institutions currently participating in WAGS
include Colorado
State University, Stanford

Utah, Harvey
Mudd College, and the University
of Washington. Support for the Seminar is
provided by NSF
and the participating institutions.
WAGS meets twice per year and congregates an
international group of more than 50
mathematicians, from students to experts in the
field of Algebraic Geometry. The last few meetings
were: Fall 2002 (Utah), Spring
2003 (Stanford), Fall
2003 (Vancouver), Spring
2004 (Utah), Fall
2004 (Colorado State), Spring
