Maths Society "What mathematics did for me", by Dr MC Faulkes
Tuesday 8 February 2011
Short Bio: Dr Faulkes is the founder of the Dill Faulkes Educational Trust, which supports educational programmes that seek to inspire young people. Dr Faulkes did his first degree and his PhD in mathematics, and went on to do post-doc research in general relativity. He then left academia and went into software. He worked for the company Logica, later SPL which was bought by Systems Designers. Dr Faulkes invested money in a variety of software companies and following the flotation of Triad and the private sale of SmartGroups.com, he was able to establish his educational trust.

This conference is intended to discuss and review recent developments in conformal and superconformal field theories and to commemorate the work of Francis Dolan in this area. It will take place on Friday, 13th April 2012 in DAMTP, University of Cambridge.
Leverhulme Lectures
Thursday 3 May 2012
There will be a series of Leverhulme Lectures by Jon Aaronson (Tel Aviv). None of the talks will assume attendance at the previous (or future) talks. The first will be held on Thursday afternoon (time to be announced) and the second on Friday morning at 11am. The third talk is part of the one day ergodic theory meeting and will be held at 1.15pm on Friday. All three talks will be in room 39AA04. There is no funding (beyond expenses associated to the one day ergodic theory meeting to participating institutions) but we are happy to help with finding accommodation.
