SF@W Reading Group
In Term 3 the Stochastic Finance @ Warwick reading group will meet on Wednesday's 10-11 am in B3.03 in the Zeeman Building for weeks 1 and 2 and on Wednesday's 2-3 pm - weeks 4 onwards. The afternoon sessions will be held in room MS.03 apart from Week 5 when we will be in room the MS04. There is the option to join online via MS Teams. If you want to be added to the MS Teams group, please contact the reading group organiser Dr Jo Kennedy. References for the sessions will be sent via email.
