University of Toronto PDE/Applied Math/Analysis, 2005-06

PDE/Applied Math/Analysis Seminars 2005-2006

Starting January 13 2006, the PDE/Applied Math/Analysis seminar will meet regularly on Fridays from 3:10-4pm in Room 6183 Bahen Center, 40 St. George Street (ie, the southwest corner of St. George and Russell), on the University of Toronto campus.

Of related interest in Toronto: the Fields Institute Colloquium/Seminar in Applied Mathematics.

For more information, please contact one of the organizers: Pieter Blue (pblue@ math.toronto.edu), Almut Burchard (almut@ math.toronto.edu), or Bob Jerrard (rjerrard@ math.toronto.edu).
