The London MathSpace is a group that aims to meet fortnightly to discuss topics in Mathematics. The format we follow is to have one or two short talks followed by discussion time. Topics of interest among the participants in the kickoff meeting are mainly in applied math & statistics (machine learning, graphics, computer vision, biomathematics...), but there are also a few into pure math. Some people would be up to read and discuss papers.
We aim to have talks pretty much at all levels, from recreational math to graduate topics, so don't be scared to propose a talk on any topic!
We have decided to hold these on alternate Fridays from now on, since other dates can be problematic re. booking the classroom.
We have a mailing list where we discuss maths and future events.
Next events
Friday 9th January: Voting Theory, by Alex Bolton
In this talk, Alex will be giving an overview of how voting can be examined mathematically, including examples of different voting systems, their strengths and weaknesses, and Arrow's Impossibility Theorem.
