Agenda Lexington 2019

The Workshop will be held in room 330AB of the Gatton Student Center on the University of Kentucky campus. A map showing the location of the Center, the student housing in Francis Jewell Hall, and local restaurants, may be found here.

As we go along I will post material in folders below this web share. You should bookmark it for easy access. Please join this discussion group for updates on the workshop. This is a great place to ask questions.

If you have questions about Lexington or the U Ky area, several participants are locals who are willing to help.

Before the meeting

Do your homework!

Each day will concentrate on a chapter of Osterbrock & Ferland, which Don called "AGN3" since it was actually the third edition of the book. Please review that chapter before the class. Please bring your copy if you have one. PDF copies of the first five chapters are in the pubs folder of this web share.

Day 0 Sunday May 19

6 PM no host reception, dinner at Pazzos. This is one of the local student pubs.
