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.
