Queens College Mathematics Department

The Queens College Mathematics Department sponsors a department colloquium approximately every two weeks during the school year. Visiting scholars and department faculty present their current directions of study to interested faculty and students. Each event is open to the public. Most talks are from 12:15–1:05 on a Monday–Thursday, followed by lunch at the Agora.
