Hello All, I'm just dropping you all a line once again to remind you that DCU are hosting the IMSA annual conference this year which will be held on Fri 30th Nov, Sat 1st Dec and Sun 2'nd Dec. The format for the weekend is a get together on Friday night with a table quiz in the bar, Saturday we'll have some interesting talks covering a wide variety of topics, with breaks for tea/coffee and lunch and on Saturday night we'll be having dinner in the Arlington Hotel on Bachelors Walk, this dinner is costing £28.50 each, but we hope to have this subsidised a fair bit. This will also include entry to Knightsbridge nightclub afterwards. Then on Sunday we'll have two more talks followed by a meeting of IMSA, and a quick cup of tea and coffee after for a chance to say goodbye to all! You can keep an eye on http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~maths/imsa.html which will be updated soon with more information. If you will definately be attending the dinner on Saturday night, could you please get back to me before 1pm on Friday 9th (this Friday) As numbers are limited and the hotel will be very busy with Christmas party season etc. this is the absolute deadline for those of you who will be attending to let us know. Of course I hope to see you all at some stage over the weekend! R.S.V.P. 1pm Friday 9th Nov Thanks, Paula Lenahan

[MathSoc] For last year's members

A new term has arrived and a new committee is trying to get the Mathsoc up and running. Here's what we have lined up so far: The Irish Mathematics Students Association (IMSA) will be meeting at the end of November. This is in the process of being organised but it'll definitely mean some food and a piss-up after some hopefully interesting talks. Early in the new year , DCU Mathsoc and Physeng will both be going to a science exhibition of some sort in Amsterdam. There's not much more i need to say on that except that it'll be cheap. Intervarsities are in March sometime. Yet to be organised. Along with those will be Table Quizes , a Countdown style quiz and a Pool Competition. And just in case that doesn't get your pulse racing with excitement , we also have plans for 6 lectures/talks by guest speakers. If you haven't joined already and want to , we'll be holding a meeting in the Seminar Room of the hub at 2:00 , Wednesday 30th October. regards , DCU Mathsoc.
