6th Postgraduate Numerical Analysis Day

6th Bath/Brunel/Cardiff/Imperial/Oxford/Reading Numerical Analysis Postgraduate Seminar Day

The Numerical Analysis group at the University of Oxford will host the 6th Postgraduate Numerical Analysis Seminar Day. The aim of the day is to give postgraduate students a chance to talk to peers in a relaxed environment.

Participating universities are Bath, Brunel, Cardiff, Imperial, Oxford, and Reading.

Date: Friday, 18 March 2011

Location: Seminar Room RI.0.48, Gibson Building, Mathematical Institute, Oxford (see map of the Maths Institute Buildings). For detailed directions please contact Lotti Ekert.
