Welcome to the sixth
ATHENS Pr OBABILITY COLLOQUIUM
Saturday March 17, 2018
Math Dept, University of Athens
Following the
success of the first five AProC meetings [1,2,3,4,5], we are again organizing this year’s one-day
event, centered around three top-quality talks in probability and its interface
with other active areas of current research activity. The main aim is to bring
together all near-Athens-based researchers in probability and related areas of
mathematics and applications.
All
interested faculty, post-docs and students are welcome and are encouraged to
attend
The talks are
intended for a general (math/stat) audience and will be accessible to students
without particular expertise in the specific areas of the topics discussed.
Also, there will be ample time for free interaction and discussion between the
participants.
All talks will take
place in room AMΦ24, on the 2nd
floor of the Mathematics Dept
building on the University of Athens campus. A
map together with information on how to get there can be found here.
