Computer Science Day

The annual event forms part of an LMS initiative of activities at the interface between Mathematics and Computer Science.

The inaugural event 'Tutorial Workshop on Mathematical Foundations for the Internet' took place on 17 September 2007. It showcased a range of mathematical topics that are helping to build our understanding of how the Internet behaves and how the protocols that it uses can be designed to perform better.
