GRASP is a new lecture series at the University of Texas at Austin, which is aimed at bringing some of the fundamental concepts and big picture of the GRASP areas to a wider audience (the intended target audience are beginning graduate students). These lectures will be digitally recorded and disseminated by streaming video, audio, and lecture notes through this website, with the goal of establishing an electronic resource for students (and others) wishing to be introduced to the GRASP subject areas. (The plan is for the website to also contain links to survey articles, scanned notes, and other helpful information.) The speakers are selected based in part on their ability to communicate fundamental ideas at a basic level to a broad audience.

The GRASP lecture program is being developed in coordination with the Division of Instructional Innovation and Assessment (DIIA) at the University of Texas at Austin. Special thanks to Mike DeLeon for videotaping and editing the lectures. Thanks also to Coco Kishi and Egan Jones for the web page and banner design. GRASP is partially supported by NSF grant DMS-0449830 (CAREER).
