Taught Course Centre Graduate Event Day

Algebra

28th April 2011

Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

 


This is a one-day graduate conference to be held in Oxford on Thursday 28th April 2011. The idea is to get research students from the TCC institutions (and beyond) to come together to share and discuss their areas of research in a relaxed atmosphere. Previous TCC Event Days have covered topics such as Number Theory and Geometry. This year we invite algebra students to attend this conference.
