Getting Prepared

We will use the book Algebraic Graph Theory by Godsil and Royle and we recommend you get a copy before you arrive. It is available for a reasonable price from Amazon. Also, we will be using the computing system Sage, and we recommend you familiarize yourself a little with it in advance. Here is a tutorial page.

Getting to SFU

It is not difficult to get to SFU using public transit from the airport, and for those with a manageable amount of luggage we suggest you follow the transit directions here: Getting to SFU. We suggest that you get off the bus at the first stop at SFU (after the long hill you will ride up and then under an overhang to this stop). Another possibility for those with a large amount of luggage is to take the skytrain from the Airport to Waterfront and then to get a cab (these are easily available and should cost around $30).

Checking into the Dorms

To check in to your dormitory, you will next go to the Residence and Housing Office (778-782-4201) which is located in the Residence Administration Building, highlighted in the map below.

Finding PIMS

All of the program activities will take place at the PIMS site which is located in the TASC2 building. This is indicated on the map below.
