COLLOQUIUM and SEMINAR SERIES

Speakers expose students to professionals from other parts of the country giving them insights beyond those of our own faculty, and helps connect NMU to the global academic community. Talks by colleagues start discussions on issues of importance, and provide an opportunity to give visibility to scholarly work being done here.

Join us for interesting and informative seminars on mathematics and computer science topics.

Meet guest speakers from across the country representing universities, industry and mathematical and computing organizations.

Abstracts of each talk are available as well as the time and location.  Simply click on the speaker's name for information.
