West Texas Applied Math Graduate Minisymposium
Friday, 28 April, 2017

THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FIRST EDITION!

Dr. Ra Inta has made his presentation available at this link.

THE MINISYMPOSIUM

The minisymposium is addressed to all graduate students and post-docs in the area of applied mathematics.
It will be a one day event with contributed talks of 25 minutes each plus 5 minutes for questions. A poster presentation will take place during the lunch break.

The location of the event is the Student Union Building (SUB) of Texas Tech University.
All talks will take place in the Senate room.

Registration, poster presentation, coffee breaks and lunch will be in the Matador room.

The day after the event there will be a barbecue open to all participants. It will be from 12:00pm to 3:00pm at Mae Simmons Park. Please look at this map for driving directions.

It is a great opportunity for graduate students and post-docs to talk about their research and expand their network.
