On the Shoulders of Giants
Mathematicians and computer scientists of today build on the knowledge and discoveries made by those who have come before them. Two such giants in the field were Professor William Tutte and J. Wesley Graham.
This Alumni Weekend, the Faculty of Mathematics will offer alumni, family, and friends an engaging lecture series that will showcase these incredible faculty founders who were ahead of their era, followed by a talk from an alumnus doing cutting edge work in that area.
NOTE: This registration site is ONLY for non-alumni, community members, and Waterloo students.
