Seminars in Algebra and Topology
Listed below are the upcoming and past Algebra and Topology Seminars,
as well as seminars in other series (including the MSI Colloquium and
Graduate Students Seminar) which may be of interest to algebraists.
Unless otherwise stated,
seminars are held in the Bernhard Neumann Seminar Room (G35)
of the John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Building (#27).
Tuesday afternoon Algebra and Topology Seminars are usually
preceded by afternoon tea, from 3:30pm in the Kurt Mahler Room (2143).
All are welcome.
