Pure Postgraduate Seminars
The Pure Postgraduate Seminar Series provides an informal environment for pure maths postgrads to present mathematical ideas. It was set up in the Spring semester of 2002 by Sarah Hart (née Perkins). During this time, the University of Manchester were still split as UMIST and The Victoria University of Manchester. The seminar organisation was split over the two semesters. The Spring semester was organised by Sarah Perkins, and the Autumn semester was organised by Sara Santos.
In the Spring semester, the seminars were held in the MSS building, N6, Thursdays at 4.30pm. In the Autumn semester, the seminars were held in the now non-existant Maths Tower, Room 2.11, Wednesdays at 4pm. Postgraduates and Postdocs from both universities were invited.
