Applied Mathematics Colloquium, Fall 2007

(listings for other semesters)

The Applied Mathematics Colloquium combines lectures by our faculty, visiting scholars from other institutions, and scholars from other science departments at UNC. The latter contributions are particularly important as we develop collaborations on our own research interests, on shared applied science curricula, and on the developments of our graduate program. These seminar lectures allow faculty and graduate students to view applied science with a mathematical flavor, to meet a diverse group of applied scientists, and for graduate students in particular to get a sense of potential career opportunities. All are welcome!

Refreshments prior to the talk will be served in Phillips Hall, Room 330, at 3:30pm. The seminars will be held in Phillips Hall, Room 332, unless otherwise noted.
