2009/10 Clay Lectures on Mathematics
The 2009/10 Clay Lectures is being organized in partnership with the Australian Mathematical Society and the Mahler Lectures. Our usual program has been greatly expanded to form the 2009 Clay-Mahler Lecture Tour!
Field's Medallist Terence Tao will be the 2009 Clay-Mahler Lecturer, and Mohammed Abouzaid and Danny Calegari will be 2009/10 Clay Lecturers. The Clay-Mahler lecture tour will take in a selection of Universities across the Australian continent, where each lecturer will present several talks ranging from specialist research seminars to pubic talks. Full details and the types of the talks are given on the schedule below.
All three Clay-Mahler Lecturers will also give plenary lectures at the annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society in Adelaide from September 28 - October 1.
