TTT38: Manchester

Department of Mathematics, University of Manchester.

This meeting was geared to the needs of beginning postgraduate students in algebraic topology, and consisted of two micro-courses given by renowned expositors of the subject.

Everyone else was welcome, of course, not least on the grounds that it was beneficial for existing staff and established students to get to know the newcomers who would come grace our three departments.
