Center for Computational Mathematics and Application (CCMA)
Luncheon Seminar
Department of Mathematics,   Penn State University
Spring 2007

114 McAllister Building
Fridays, 12:15pm-1:25pm

This informal 30-minute seminar is designed to allow students to meet and interact with CCMA researchers and outside visitors. While technically at an introductory graduate level, the seminar addresses front-line research problems.
