Professor Kumar Murty (Chair of the Math Department) and event participants introduce themselves and tell a bit about their backgrounds
This past Saturday (May 29th) the University of Toronto held it’s Spring Reunion for Alumni who graduated in a year ending in 0 or 5. The Math Department held it’s own event as part of it entitled “A Celebration of Mathematics”. The turn-out was good and participants were treated to a series of three lectures from three distinct speakers.
Participants heard a brief history of the Department from Professor Kumar Murty, Chair. They then heard from one of the department’s undergraduate specialist math students and head of the undergraduate math union. The final talk was a brief taste of Professor Jeremy Quastel’s upcoming International Congress of Mathematics (ICM) talk.
