CSE Seminar at McGill

Are you involved in computations for real applications and would you like to learn about the latest techniques?
Are you developing new methods and would you be interested in finding applications?
Are you new in this area and would you like to get a feeling for this exciting field of research?
Are you tired of seminars where you don't understand a word a few minutes into the talk?

Then, come to our CSE Seminar @ McGill:
On Friday 2:30-3:25 pm
Burnside Hall, Room 1205

The goal of our CSE seminar is to bring together experts (and experts to-be!) from different areas of scientific computing and applications. Speakers are encouraged to prepare their presentation for a broad audience, including engineers from different disciplines, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians.
