Sir David Wallace lecture series
In 2014 the Department of Mathematical Sciences launched a new series of annual lectures to invite prestigious mathematicians to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ to give a talk on the pioneering research. The lecture is named after the Vice-Chancellor of º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, 1994-2006.
The Sir David Wallace lectures will continue to be hosted by º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ and the talks are aimed at a wide audience, including PhD students and Maths undergraduates.
