Week 3 – Prof. Imre Leader

This coming Monday, we are delighter to have Professor Imre Leader deliver a combinatorics talk at the CMS. And, do hang around for pizza and port/juice after the talk!

Title: Tournaments
Speaker: Professor Imre Leader
Abstract: Most tournaments are of two types. There are all-play-all tournaments, like many chess tournaments or the group stages of football tournaments, and there are knockout tournaments where one loss eliminates you, like most tennis tournaments or the final stages of football tournaments. We will discuss some interesting things that happen in each of these two.
Date: Monday, 28 October
Time: 7pm
Location: MR2, Centre of Mathematical Sciences
