IUM general seminar "Globus"

Goals:

To restore the unity of mathematics, to be able to understand what our colleagues from other domains do.

The seminar takes place (as a rule) every fortnight on Thursday at 15:40 in the conference hall (IUM, 4th floor). It is announced by e-mail (to be included into the mailing list, write to Serge Lvovski <serge@mccme.ru>).

If mathematics is dear to your heart, you are cordially invited.

More detailed information (including abstracts) is available in Russian.
