School members will already be aware that we are hosting the 57th Annual Meeting of
the Australian Mathematical Society during the mid-semester break; see the conference

Please promote this, and the other public lecture by Sommer Gentry on the Tuesday, to any
students/friends/family members who would be interested in finding out about new
discoveries in pure mathematics (Venkatesh) and new applications of mathematics to modern
society (Gentry) from exciting young speakers.
