Speakers |
Each year, the mathematics department hosts visiting speakers. The talks are aimed at undergraduates and encourage the study and enjoyment of mathematics. These visits enrich the intellectual environment of the department and allow students to learn mathematics that may be outside of the department's standard curriculum.
