LMS Midlands Regional Meeting & Workshop 2021
The regional meeting on Wednesday, June 2nd will consists of three talks, by Professor Delaram Kahrobaei (York) on Group Theory and Cryptography, by Dr Simon Smith (Lincoln) on Totally Disconnected Locally Compact Groups, and by Professor Alexandre Borovik (Manchester) on Mathematics and Education. The last talk will be of a public lecture style, and this talk will be followed by a drinks reception and a poster session. The lectures are aimed at a general mathematical audience. All interested, whether LMS members or not, are most welcome to attend this event.
This day meeting takes place during the LMS Workshop on Profinite Groups and Related Aspects from 3-4 June 2021.
