Mathematics
Research Seminar Program 2008
Mathematics research seminars are held on Thursdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm in Room V129 of the Mathematics Building, unless otherwise specified. If you have questions about any events listed, or wish to enquire about future seminars on particular topics, please contact the Research Seminar Program Coordinator.
Visitors are welcome and anyone is invited to subscribe to our mailing list to receive regular announcements about upcoming events.
Additonal Access Grid Room (AGR) seminars from other Universities are also held on a regular basis. These will only be shown if enough interest has been expressed in advance. Notices about upcoming AGR seminars will be included below and sent out via the mailing list, inviting you to confirm your interest in specific seminars to the coordinator. Full information about the AGR seminar program, including abstracts, is published in the Access Grid Seminars page of the ICE-EM website.
