Discrete Mathematics Seminar

Montclair State University
Spring 2012

Information

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 1.30–2.30pm in Richardson 224A.

The goal of the seminar is bring students and faculty together to present and discuss current research topics.

Anyone is welcome (and encouraged) to present. Our interpretation of discrete mathematics is rather broad and the setting is very informal. Please email Jonathan Cutler to set up a date, or to be put on the mailing list.
