About Us

We attend University of Victoria and our seminar meets about twice a month. We created this group to share our excitement about computers and mathematics, and enjoy eating good snacks too. Anyone with a similar passion for our interests is welcome to attend our meetings.

Mission statement and News

Hi All,
This seminar will start up again in the Summer semester. Two news items

1. The CMS Student Committee has granted us $125 in funding!

2. I'm looking for someone else to organize (or help me organize) the next few sessions.

The seminar is still searching for topics that interest what may be a too broad an audience, so I would like to clarify the seminar's mission and solicit your help to achieve that.

The seminar should strengthen social and academic connections among CS Theory students and also between them and the Discrete Math group (in the math department). Tighter social connections with like minded students is very encouraging and often vital to our success. Believing our work is significant and/or interesting is extremely motivating. We can achieve this by showing it to our peers, and hearing their interest, suggestions and criticisms. I would really like to see CS Theory students and Discrete Math students share their research at the seminar, even if it is a very superficial or brief explanation.

So, please, help me champion this cause by attending the next seminar, offering your help and making suggestions on how to run it. :)
