UBC Probability Seminar 2012-2013

The probability seminar is held Wednesdays from 3 to 4 PM in ESB 2012 (unless otherwise specified). Seminars by visiting speakers will be followed by dinner at a restaurant, almost surely. Seminars by local speakers will be followed by beer at Koerner's Pub, with positive probability.

Organizer: Ori Gurel-Gurevich.
