Unless otherwise indicated, the Colloquium is held from 4:00-5:00 pm on Tuesdays. (i.e. it starts 4:10 pm) Cookies, tea, and coffee are served in the Common room at 3:45-4:00 before the Colloquium.
John McCarthy (Washington University) has written a nice article describing
(Canad. Math. Soc. Notes vol 35 no. 3-4, Sept. 1999).
We also have a
