Colloquia at Queen Mary, University of London, September–December 2012

As of 19th November 2012, City University London has officially joined Imperial College London and Queen Mary, University of London as an official host of the London Algebra Colloquium.

The Colloquium this term takes place in Room 103, Mathematics Building, at Queen Mary at 4:45pm. Tea/coffee might (or might not) be available beforehand from 4:15pm in Room 102.

I no longer organise the London Algebra Colloquium, but will maintain mirror pages for this colloquium for the coming year. The official webpage for this Colloquium is now here (which now redirects to here).
