SFU workgroup on "Random Matrices, Symmetric functions, and Graph enumeration".

---

The aim of this seminar is to meet once a week (if possible...) taking turns discussing the topics in the title, which have a common intersection. The talks can be up to 1:30 hour long (but they don't have to), and a given subject can be split into several talks if more time is needed.

Time and place: Tuesday, 9:30-11:00, room 9509 .
