The second meeting of the North British Mathematical Physics Seminar took place on Thursday 13th June 2002 at the University of York. It consisted of three longer talks, followed by two short talks by current students. The meeting was held in the Department of Mathematics, Vanbrugh College. Talks were in V/045 (ground floor) and coffee and tea on the first-floor landing above it. These people participated.
Maps of York showing the location of the university campus can be obtained here and here. Mathematics is in Vanbrugh College, building 27 on the campus map. Please email Niall MacKay if you need a parking permit -- here is the map of car parks on campus. The taxi fare from the railway station is around £5. Buses are supposed to be every 15 minutes, but can be rather random -- sometimes one has to wait half-an-hour. The station is on the north-west side of York while the campus is about a mile and a half south-east of the city centre: the walk takes about 35 minutes.
Train information can be obtained from Railtrack.
Tea, coffee and the inevitable York doughnuts will be provided free
of charge.
We'll have lunch in Goodricke college canteen -- you can get a filled
baguette or a hot meal.
After the meeting we'll go to a pub (we'll try the Olde Starre Inne
on Stonegate, right in the city centre and about 5 mins walk from the
railway
station) and then, for anyone interested, on for a meal.
Limited funds are available to help with travel expenses of
participants
with no other source of funding.
We hope that this will encourage postgraduate students and postdocs
to attend the meeting.
Please email Niall MacKay in
advance
if you would like to apply for support --
and please book early to take advantage of the cheaper train fares.
