Dear All,
This coming Monday, we are grateful to have Dr Andjela Sarkovic deliver a combinatorics/probability talk, Monday 17 February, 7pm at MR2, CMS. And, do hang around for pizza and port/juice after the talk!
Title: Picking a spanning tree at random
Speaker: Dr Andjela Sarkovic
Abstract: A spanning tree of a graph is a tree that includes all the vertices of the graph and whose edges are a subset of the graph’s edges. In this talk, I will describe a couple of algorithms for selecting a spanning tree uniformly at random from the set of all spanning trees of a graph.
Date: Monday, 17 February
Time: 7pm
Location: MR2, Centre of Mathematical Sciences

Following positive vibes from the TMS Lent Talks, we are excited to announce a second series of TMS Peer Talks!
Event: TMS Undergraduate Peer Talks (Easter)
Details: Want to share about a mathematical idea that excites you? Want to hear about interesting mathematical perspectives from your peers? Enjoyed yourself in the Lent Peer Talks series? Do sign up to speak, or come along to attend the TMS Easter Peer Talks! We hope to organise an afternoon of accessible bite-sized nuggets. targeted at undergraduates, with minimal prerequisites.
• Talk durations range from 5 to 15 minutes, with brief QnAs and plenty of breaks and snacks.
• The main target audience (and level of assumed knowledge) is IB Maths, but students of all levels are very welcome to speak/attend.
• The intended flavour of talks is not to present original research (which will likely be inaccessible to the broad undergraduate audience), but to present a nice piece of maths (e.g. a fresh perspective on a concept taught in lectures, a toy example illustrating a powerful result, or a brief tour of an area of maths).
• The ultimate goal is for both speakers and audience to have lots of fun over sharing and discussing maths!
Date/Time: start of Easter (to be confirmed)
Location: MR2 (to be confirmed)
