This year’s Trinity Mathematical Society Symposium is running from 10:00 to 17:45 on Sunday 22nd February. We have talks by fellows and PhD students, ranging across all areas of mathematical research. The event is free and open to all; no particular specialist knowledge is assumed. There is no need to stay for the whole day – just drop in on talks you find interesting.
