Designed mainly for graduate students interested in computational and
applied mathematics and related areas, this seminar usually gives an
introduction to a research topic without assuming the audience has any
prior knowledge on the topic, and, in most cases offers an introduction
to the CAM Colloquium by, for example, defining basic concepts
important to the Colloquium talk.
The seminar is 30 minutes long, followed by a discussion over lunch.
