This year’s Trinity Mathematical Society Symposium is running from 10:00 to 17:45 on Sunday 22nd February in the Winstanley Lecture Theatre in Trinity College. 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.
