This year’s Midwest Algebra, Geometry and their Interactions Conference (MAGIC’10) will be held at the University of Notre Dame, April 23-25, 2010. The organizers are:

• Nero Budur (University of Notre Dame)
• Alberto Corso (University of Kentucky)
• Juan Migliore (University of Notre Dame)
• Claudia Polini (University of Notre Dame)

The conference continues a well established tradition of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry meetings in the Midwest, among which we single out MAGC97 at the University of Notre Dame in 1997, the first Bluegrass Algebra Conference at the University of Kentucky in 2003, the Lipman-Fest at Purdue University in 2004, MAGIC’05 at the University of Notre Dame in 2005, the Purdue-UIC Workshop at Purdue University in 2006, the Hartshorne’s 70th birthday conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2008, the second Bluegrass Algebra Conference at the University of Kentucky in 2009, and the Libgober’s 60th birthday conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2009.
Young Mathematicians are especially encouraged to attend. There is a limited amount of funding provided by the following sources:

• Department of Matematics (Notre Dame)
• College of Science (Notre Dame)
• Graduate School (Notre Dame)
• Special Algebra Meetings in the Midwest grant (NSF DMS-0753127).

A registration page and further information will be shortly available at the (soon to be released) meeting website.

The 2010 Spring Western Section Meeting will be held at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, April 17-18, 2010. Louiza Fouli and Janet Vassilev are organizing a Special Session on Trends in Commutative Algebra. For more information, see website maintained by the organizers or the AMS website for the session.

The 2010 Spring Central Section Meeting in St. Paul, MN will be held April 10-11, 2010. A Special Session on Commutative Ring Theory is being organized by Michael Axtell and Joe Stickles. See the AMS website for the session for more information.

A regional AMS meeting will be held at the University of Kentucky in Lexington (March 27-28, 2010).
The meeting will be enriched by several events:
* David Eisenbud will deliver the annual Kentucky Hayden-Howard Lecture in Mathematics on Thursday afternoon, March 25, 2010;
* Bernd Ulrich will deliver a one-hour invited address during the AMS meeting;
* Doron Zeilberger will deliver the annual Erdos Memorial Lecture in Mathematics on Saturday, March 27, 2010;
* there will be several special sessions on commutative algebra and algebraic combinatorics.
The complete program of the special sessions at the meeting can be found at the following website.

Regional Commutative Algebra Meeting in Southeast March 2010
Atlanta, GA
March 20-21, 2010
The series of meetings represents a collaborative effort of commutative algebraists at Georgia State University, University of South Carolina and University of Central Florida to increase exposure of their research area in the South-East through periodic meetings. For more information, check the meeting website.

The First International Conference on Mathematics and Statistics, AUS-ICMS’10, will be held March 18-21, 2010. Organized by The Department of Mathematics & Statistics, College of Arts and Sciences, American University of Sharjah, and co-sponsored by the American Mathematical Society, the aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists working in the fields of pure mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematics education and statistics. The proposed technical program of the conference will include contributed talks and keynote lectures.
The Algebra Section will include

• Algebras and Coalgebras organized by Robert Wisbauer and Jawad Abuhlail
• Commutative Algebra organized by Ayman Badawi and Ali Jaballah

For more information, see the Algebra Section web page, or send email to Ayman Badawi (abadawi AT aus.edu).

A Southwest Local Algebra Meeting will be held 6-7 March 2010 at the University of Texas at Arlington. More information can be found at the conference website.

The 2010 International Conference on Algebra and Applications (ICAA 2010) will be held 20-22 February, 2010, in Aligarh, India. The purpose of the conference is to contribute to the development of Algebra and to bring together the Algebraists from all over the world working in the related areas to present their researches, to exchange new ideas, to discuss challenging issues, to foster future collaborations and to expose young researchers.
For a complete list of invited speakers, instructions on how to submit an abstract, and registration information, see the conference web site.
(Update: Conference website address has changed.)

The First Seminar on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra will be held on February 10, 2010 at the School of Mathematics of IPM in Tehran, Iran. The main speaker of the seminar will be Naoki Terai from Saga University, Japan.
More information can be found at the seminar website.

The Department of Algebra and the Mathematical Research Institute of the University of Sevilla (IMUS) will host an International School on Combinatorics “Pilar Pisón-Casares”, January 25-30, 2010, in Sevilla (Spain).
The School is addressed to PhD students and young post-doc researchers working on Algebraic Geometry, Combinatorics, Commutative Algebra and related areas, introducing the participants to research, beginning from a basic level with a view towards the applications and to the most recent results.
