This page lists seminars for a previous academic year. Click here to see seminars for the current year.

Applied and Computational Mathematics Seminars are held on Wednesdays between 3pm and 4pm during the academic year in the new Science building (Science Hub - map). Special seminars would be also arranged on different days and during the summer breaks. For comments and speaker suggestions please contact the seminar coordinator Dr Eugene Kashdan. The ACM/Wave Group seminars are usually two hours long (3pm-5pm) and include two talks.

Starting from January 2015, the seminar is held in the room H2.20.

Directions to the room H2.20 within the Science Hub: From the main entrance to the Science building (ground floor) take a spiral staircase to the second floor and continue straight. You'll pass through the corridor, the hall and enter a short cul-de-sac with the staircase on your left. The seminar room is in front of you.
