Abstract

This year’s Trinity Mathematical Society Symposium is running from 10:00 to 18:00 on Sunday 26nd February. We have talks by fellows and PhD students, ranging across all areas of mathematical research. The event is free and open to all; no particular specialist knowledge is assumed. There is no need to stay for the whole day – just drop in on talks you find interesting.

The program is as follows (abstracts can be found on https://www.srcf.ucam.org/tms/symposium-2017/).
