Statistics Seminars 2009 - 2010
The Statistics Seminars are held in Sequoia Hall (room 200) at 4:15pm on
Tuesdays. Coffee is served at 3:45pm.
We provide a LaTeX seminar template
for speakers to use (pdf output here). Using this template makes it easy for us to post the details of
the talk promptly and without unintended errors that might creep in if we were to
transcribe the abstract.
Enquiries regarding seminars should be sent to
