SNAPSHOTS OF MATH AT HARVARD

Monday, Apr 15, 3-4pm

The Snapshots of Math at Harvard aims to bring people with different research directions together. Each talk is 10 minutes long and is intended to introduce a topic to mathematicians outside the speaker's field. The goal is to exchange broad ideas and foster new mathematical contacts. As time is limited, the speakers may not arrive details / theorems. Everyone are encouraged to discuss with the speakers after the seminar!
