Directions from Gainesville Airport to the Holiday Inn

It is probably simplest to take a taxi, but if you have rented a car, you can get to the Holiday Inn as follows. Take a right out of the airport exit, then a left at the first traffic light (Waldo Rd; about 1/4 mile). Follow Waldo Rd. to University Avenue; after you have turned there are traffic lights at 23rd, 16th, and 8th Avenues, and University is the next light. Turn right onto East University Avenue. Take this about two miles to W 13th St (the street numbers will decrease until Main St, and then start increasing). The Holiday Inn will be on your right, on the corner of 13th St and University Avenue.

Directions to the Mathematics Department

The Mathematics Department is located close to the intersection of W 13th Street and West University Avenue. The Holiday Inn above is on the northeast corner of this very intersection, and it is easiest to go by foot; this takes about 5 minutes. From this intersection, proceed south on 13th to the first light (SW 2nd Avenue). On your right is the main entrance to the University. Go in this entrance, and make a left at the first intersection. Go straight on this road until you reach Little Hall (about 100 feet on the right). The elevator is in the center of the building on the parking lot side, near the sign for Little Hall. Take the elevator to the 3rd floor, which put you directly in front of the mathematics department, and registration for the conference.

Here is a map of the relevant part of the campus, with Little Hall (labelled LIT) highlighted in red.
