This seminar, usually given by an external speaker, is aimed at graduate students interested in computational and applied mathematics (CAM). Its purpose is to generate discussion among CAM faculty members, students, visitors, and postdocs. The presentation is 30 minutes long (12:20–12:50 pm) and usually offers a brief introduction to the CAM Colloquium talk in the afternoon. The seminar is followed by a discussions over lunch.
The schedule of speakers is below.
