On the afternoon of November 22, The Fields Institute will be hosting
an information session for Ontario universities to display information
on their graduate programs in mathematics, statistics and some computer
science programs. As part of the day's activities there will be two
keynote lectures aimed at undergraduate students in the mathematical
sciences.
Please join us for this event and this opportunity to talk to representatives
from the various university graduate programs.
All are welcome.
We are making a table (and poster board if requested) available to each
university. Universities who wish to participate, and who have not already
contacted The Fields Institute to confirm their participation should do
so by sending an e-mail to the address listed below. Universities with
several departments are asked to cooperate on using the space.
Fields can assist Universities with renting a van or bus to facilitate
