Applied Math Events 2003-2004

During the Fall semester, almost all of the events occur on Fridays at 1:10 pm, switching to 2:10 pm for the Spring semester. Most talks are held in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Toronto. For more information, please contact one of the organizers: Bob Jerrard (rjerrard@math.utoronto. ca), Georgia Karali (gkarali@math.utoronto. ca) and Mary Pugh (mpugh@math.utoronto. ca).

Fields Institute Thematic Year on Partial Differential Equations August 2003 - June 2004

The Fields Institute will be having a focus year on PDEs, organized by Walter Craig (McMaster), Nick Ercolani (Arizona), and Catherine Sulem (Toronto). This will be an exciting year --- keep your eye on its calendar!

The nearest subway station to the math department is St George. Walk two blocks south from Bloor, walking along St George. Sidney Smith is on the west side of St George, about 50 meters south of Harbord. (To reach the Fields Institute, walk two more blocks south on St George until you reach College. Turn right and walk about 50 meters. The Fields Institute is to your right at 222 College St.)

The nearest subway station to the Fields Institute is Queens Park. Walk four blocks west on College, cross St George, and about 50 meters further you'll find the Fields Institute to your right at 222 College St. (To reach the math department, turn right on St George, walk two blocks north until you reach Wilcocks. Sidney Smith Hall is about ten meters further on your left.)
