Mathematics Colloquium
Please join the WMI Colloquium in Zeeman B3.03.
Organisers: Sam Chow and Tobias Grafke
Additional colloquia, titles and abstracts will be added as details become available.
Colloquia take place on Friday afternoons at 4.00pm, in Zeeman B3.03. They are directed towards a general mathematical audience. In particular, one of the functions of these colloquia is to inform non-specialists and graduate students about recent trends, ideas and results in some area of mathematics, or a closely related field.
