All about the calendar
The Math Department integrates its posted event calendar with the UW's event calendar.
It is posted automatically to our webpage and onto the digital display in the 1st floor lobby.
Events are periodically "harvested" from seminar information pages and added to the UW Math Department calendar.
If there is an event we may have missed, or you'd like added, please fill out this form.
