The London MathSpace is a group which meets every other Friday to discuss mathematics. We host talks, problem-solving and programming events.
All our events are held at London Hackspace, 447 Hackney Road.
If you would like to do a talk or have any ideas for an event, please say so here or on our mailing list.
Next Event
| Workshop: Programming Bots |
| 6 March 2015 at 18:30 |
| Hosted by MathSpace |
| At this event, we will be progamming bots to play Blotto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blotto_games). Then we will be battling them.
If you would like to work on something before the event, then the code we will be using for the event is here: https://github.com/camzz/Blotto Post on the MathSpace mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lhs-mathspace) with any questions. |
Future events
All talks listed here are provisional. If you would like to give a talk of suggest a non-talks event, please add it to a date here. For questions and discussion, use our mailing list.
