Timetable - MIDNAG Meeting, 24th May
You are invited to join the second MIDNAG meeting which will take place on 24 May 2007 at the University of Leicester. This is the second in a series of three workshops organized in 2007 at the member universities of Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham. Each meeting has a theme aimed at highlighting advances in various areas of numerical analysis and scientific computing. The meeting is open to everyone and registration is free.
