Just a quick note to clarify---

The Asprey Lecture on Wednesday night is aimed at a general audience.   
It should be accessible to all faculty and students, no matter how much  
background they've had in mathematics or the sciences.

If you want an idea what the talk might be about, check out the  
amazon.com web page for Jeff's book (called "The Shape of Space").
