Computational Mathematics and Applications Seminars

These seminars are run jointly by the Numerical Analysis Group and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL).

Further details are available from Lotti Ekert. The coordinators are Professor L N Trefethen (Computing Laboratory) and Dr Sue Dollar (RAL).

The seminars will be held on Thursdays at 2pm in the Lecture Theatre A of Oxford University Computing Laboratory, Wolfson Building, Parks Road, unless otherwise stated. All who are interested are welcome.
