Department Colloquium

Almost every week during the semester, the Mathematics Department hosts a colloquium.  Sometimes the speakers are W&M faculty, often they are guests from other universities.   The colloquiums are highly recommended for Mathematics students, but they are open to the entire William and Mary community. Upcoming colloquiums are listed on the main events listing, those listed here have already occurred.
