Mathematical tea time page
We engage in a leisurely discussion / exploration of exciting,
accessible, and significant mathematical achievements and open
problem. The mathematical tea times are open anyone who is
interested in higher mathematics (including faculty and students not
formally affliated with the Mathematics departement). The
meetings are teas and not formal classes or lectures. They are
coordinated by Christopher
Simons.
