Probability Seminar
Probability Seminar
The weekly UW Probability Seminar features talks on current research in all areas of probability theory: discrete and continuous, pure and applied. The seminar meets on Mondays from 2:30 p.m. to 3:20 p.m. The speaker and the participants usually continue their discussions at a cafe on UW campus immediately after the in-person talk.
Current Quarter
The seminar meets in SMI 405 in Autumn Quarter 2024. Krzysztof Burdzy is the moderator.
Credit
This seminar may be taken for credit as Math 590. Math grad students may register for as many credits as needed. If you have trouble registering, please email advising@math.washington.edu.
Mailing List
Announcements of upcoming seminars are sent by e-mail to all interested participants. To be added to the Probability Seminar mailing list, send e-mail to the current moderator.
