The Oxford SIAM Student Chapter are excited to announce their very first joint event with G-Research. Join them for an introductory talk about the company (a great talk to attend if you are keen on internships), followed by an interactive game with the chance to win £100 Amazon vouchers.
Mathematical Institute, C6, Tuesday 17 February (W5), 3:30 pm. Tea, coffee (decaf available) and biscuits will be provided in the Common Room afterwards.
MATH+ is hiring two new Junior Research Group Leaders:
One position is in Statistical Learning: they are looking for a candidate to establish and lead a research group developing novel mathematical and statistical methodologies for modern data analysis. Details on requirements and how to apply.
A 3-manifold is a space which locally looks like R^3. A major theme in 3-manifold Topology is to understand and classify 3-manifolds. Given two compact 3-manifolds M_1,M_2 we can form another 3-manifold by taking what’s called the “connect sum” of M_1 and M_2. Under this operation, 3-manifolds can be decomposed uniquely into prime pieces just like the integers can be decomposed uniquely as a product of primes. We will discuss this prime decomposition theorem for 3-manifolds while also giving a wide variety of examples.
