It will in addition be open to others e.g. research assistants, junior scientists, visitors. Style The presentation will be as fairly formal lectures, each aiming to outline a particular class of methods to give examples of it being applied to realistic situations to indicate how to implement it using software available at CBU Location Lectures, apart from the first, will take place in the West Wing Lecture Theatre on Thursdays from 11 am till 12 noon and are being given by IanNimmoSmith and PeterWatson who will welcome any feedback.
