LMS Computer Science Colloquium 2024
The LMS Computer Science Colloquium is an annual event, which includes themed talks on a topical issue at the interface of mathematics and computer science.
The theme of this year's Colloquium is: Trends in Algorithm Design.
The Colloquium is organised by the LMS Computer Science Committee and is aimed at PhD students and post-docs, although others are welcome to attend, whether LMS members or not.
We will endeavour to upload the talks to the LMS YouTube channel - click 'subscribe' to be alerted when new videos are added.
