Reading Seminars Series: Applied Linear Algebra and Optimization

This seminar series is an extension to the regular ERGO Seminars. Its main purpose is to build stronger collaboration among the young researchers of ERGO by providing them with a platform for sharing their results and ideas with others and getting a feedback/expert advise on them.

Seminars take place every second Tuesday at 16.00 in the James Clerk Maxwell Building unless indicated otherwise. Note that the seminar room is not fixed and may change from time to time.

Everybody is welcome to attend.

If you wish to be placed on the mailing list or wish to give a talk, please contact Pavel Zhlobich.
