Regular Events Schedule


On Wednesday (26th), we will be running Maths Café in the Undergraduate Workroom (A0.05), from 13:00 to 15:00. As usual, we will be bringing (a small amount of) food for you to enjoy.

If you have any questions about academics, module options, or any general queries about the university, our academic support officers (and many other attendees) will be happy to help.


Also on Thursday (27th), we have our regularly scheduled WMS Talk, titled What is K-Theory?, with guest speaker Dr Sunny Sood, in B3.03, from 18:00 to 19:00, with free pizza afterwards.

Abstract:

K-Theory has seen rapid progress over recent years and beautifully links many areas of mathematics. However, the difficult and esoteric nature of the subject makes it hard to grasp and comprehend, especially for undergraduates. I think this is a shame. I am therefore motivated to give a talk that attempts to convey the intuition of the subject, the tools necessary to study the subject, and a survey of problems/results that hopefully give a flavour of research within the subject. If by the end of the talk you walk away with an idea of what K-Theory is, I would have achieved my goal!


On Friday (28th), we are running Coffee and Cake, our weekly welfare event, from 16:00 to 17:00, in MB0.07. Drop in to get a hot drink and some food, and relax with others in an informal and friendly environment.


On Saturday (29th), WMS is collaborating with the Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Engineering and Computer Science societies to run a STEM quiz to raise money for Movember. The quiz rill run from 15:00 to 18:00 in OC0.01.
