             Lecture List for Trinity Term 2008
NOTICE: Non-members of the University may not attend university lectures (unless they are announced as open to
the general public) without payment of a fee, otherwise than by personal invitation of the lecturer concerned. Persons
who are neither reading for a qualification of this University nor otherwise exempt, and who wish to attend lectures in
any term, should apply to the Buildings and Events Manager, Exams Schools, for details of fees. At least three
working days' notice is required before a lecture permit can be issued, to allow liaison with the department or faculty
concerned. Senior visiting scholars from other universities who wish to attend lectures, seminars, or classes should
normally apply to the lecturer concerned directly, and not to the Buildings and Events Manager.

Lectures begin on the first possible day after the beginning of Full Term (Sunday, 20 April) unless otherwise
                                                     stated.

      Lectures will begin five minutes after the hour and finish at five minutes before the next hour.

               This printed version was created 19 Feb 2008. For an updated version, see:
http://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/notices/lecture-lists. It includes late changes and amendments to the printed list.

                 Events shown on this list are generally one hour long unless stated otherwise.

TAUGHT COURSE CENTRE

The Taught Course Centre is a collaboration between the Mathematics Departments at the Universities of Bath,
Bristol, Imperial, Oxford and Warwick. It aims to offer approximately 25 graduate level courses over the academic
year. Access grid technology will be used so that audiences in all five universities can participate in the lectures.
Graduate students should register in advance in order to attend the lectures by contacting
graduate.studies@maths.ox.ac.uk. For more information about the Taught Course Centre, and for their lecture
timetable, please see the website at http://tcc.maths.ox.ac.uk/. The full list of lecture courses for Trinity Term is as
follows:

Advanced Finite Element Methods, Prof. I. G. Graham, University of Bath
Random Matrix Theory and Applications, Dr. F. Mezzadri, University of Bristol
Theory of PDEs, Prof. J Toland, University of Bath
