Next meeting:
12 February 2010 John Faben Reducing graphs by involutions

Queen Mary, University of London
School of Mathematical Sciences

Combinatorics Study Group

Notice
The School has a re-designed website.
There is a CSG page on that website, here.
However, the present page will continue
to be maintained for the time being.

The Combinatorics Study Group meets at 4:30pm on Fridays in room M103 of the Mathematical Sciences building at Queen Mary, University of London. (Directions: Turn left on leaving Stepney Green tube station and proceed 400 metres to the building on the left.) For more information, see the directions here.

This term's programme:

In March, we expect to have another "ImpactQM" type talk on graph theory problems in distributed databases. More details later.

The School of Mathematical Sciences is undertaking a major refurbishment programme that will radically change the design to our building both externally and internally. During the reconstruction, we regret that disabled access to the building will be limited. If this could affect your intention to attend a seminar, please contact Bill White on 0207 882 5514 or email to w.white(at)qmul.ac.uk to discuss your requirements.

Resources:

The Combinatorics Study Group has been running since 1986. The original participants were Peter Cameron, Liam Halpenny and Mark Whelan.
