Student Probability Seminar
This semester, Spring 2020, we meet Mondays from 11:45am to 1pm in WWH 1314. All students are welcome. Every week one student chooses and presents a topic at an introductory level. Pizza and drinks are served starting at 11:45am, and the talk starts at noon. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to speak, regardless of their background in probability. If you wish to speak please contact Hong-Bin Chen at hbchen [at] cims, Elias Hess-Childs at elias.hess-childs [at] courant, Tim Kunisky at kunisky [at] cims, or Benjamin McKenna at mckenna [at] cims.
Seminar Organizer(s): Hong-Bin Chen, Elias Hess-Childs, Tim Kunisky, Benjamin McKenna
