GRASP is a 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). The speakers are selected based in part on their ability to communicate fundamental ideas at a basic level to a broad audience. This lecture series is presented by Dr. David Ben-Zvi, Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin.
