Drinks Reception for Oxford Chapter of SIAM (Tuesday, 21 October, 5pm)

On 21 October at 5pm, the Oxford chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) will be hosting a drinks reception in the common room of the Mathematical Institute. Please come!

The SIAM chapter will be hosting several more events this year, including a young mathematicians' workshop in Hilary Term. Membership is free, and it will entitle you to free membership in SIAM (which is an excellent career move). This will give you a chance to interact with undergraduate students, postgraduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty in applied mathematics and computational science.

Getting into Dartington House on Monday May 5th

Monday is a bank holiday, and I have been sent a relevant note from the OCIAM secretary regarding getting into the building on that day. Here is the text of the message:

"Please be sure that you let them know that although their university
card will work on the door that they will also need to use the digital
code and/or ring buzzer 9 for Kate or Peter.

They will also need to get through the white card doors."


The instructions to call '9' should be on the front door, and that will allow someone to unlock the door for you.
