MAC colloquia

In 2011 we started the monthly MAC colloquium for talks that should be of interest to all of MAC. It takes place the first Tuesdays of the month 11.30-12.30h, unless it falls on near a vacation day.

MAC seminar

Since January 2004, a series of seminars has been organized jointly by the research groups MAC1, MAC2 and MAC3. Topics for the seminars include scientific computing, analysis and systems and control theory. Any scientific work related to these topics is welcome.

The meetings are informal and intended for anyone in MAC who is interested.

The basic format of the meetings starting this fall is:

• One speaker of 45-50 minutes, with a coffee/cookies before and after. In exceptional cases we also have two speakers.
• Informal presentations: interruptions and discussions are encouraged.
• Presentations need not concern finished work: work in progress or work that is stalled is also welcome.
• All work, from "numerical experiments only" or "modelling only" to numerical, pure or systems theoretical analysis, is welcome as long as it relates to a MAC theme.
• All presentation media from blackboard to laptop are welcome.

Speakers will normally not be known long in advance, however the dates/times are already reserved. Once known, the titles will be available on this site.

The contact persons are: Kees Oosterlee, Daan Crommelin, Jens Rademacher.

Also note the even more informal MAS work seminars.

Information for speakers

• The MAC seminars lasts 1-2 hours, including 1-2 speakers (with a coffee break in between).
• The format is informal: discussion and interruptions are encouraged.
• It is recommended that speakers shoot for roughly 45 minutes, which allows ample time for discussion and a break for coffee. In any case the presentation should not exceed 1 hour.
• The lecture room includes a blackboard, overhead projector, data projector (beamer), and TV/VCR. If additional equipment is needed, please inform one of the organizers.
• For traveling to CWI there are directions and maps.
