What is..? Spring '26 Session 4

The 'What is..?'-seminar is created by, and intended for, the young researchers at the department of Mathematics (in particular, PhD and postdoc).

Speakers :

- Eivind Xu Djurhuus (section 5),
    What is... Algebraic Topology?

- Harald Ivarsen (section 5/6),
    What is... a Model?

 

What is.. this?

The inspiration comes from the 'What is..?'-column of the AMS; talks should be short expository talks to a general mathematical audience explaining anything from a foundational idea of ​​​​your field of mathematics to a nifty construction or an interesting problem.

Each session consists of two 15 minute talks with a break in between providing an ample opportunity to socialise. Coffee/Tea and cake will be served.

 

Do you want to give a talk?

Don't hesitate to contact one of the organizers! We welcome and hope to see contributions from all sections in the department.
