We are happy to announce that Professor Alan Champneys (Bristol University) will give the 34th McDowell lecture.
The McDowell lecture is an annual public lecture and we welcome everyone and in particular schools, alumni and current students. It is given in honour of the late Professor Coulter McDowell (former Head of Mathematics at Royal Holloway) and this event celebrates Professor McDowell’s achievements and contributions not only to Royal Holloway but also to the wider field of Mathematics.
This year's lecture on Wednesday 11 November will be presented online and hopefully also face-to-face in the Windsor Building for a small audience.
Please register on Eventbrite to be sent the webinar link.
According to his lively twitter page Professor Alan Champneys is professor of applied nonlinear things; eclectic enthusiast of ping pong, corny jokes, cycling, Bowie, cricket, the outdoors and opposing counterfactual populism.
Past lectures were given by Jeffrey Vaaler (University of Texas), Lara Alcock (Loughbourough), Julia Wolf (Cambridge), Ruth King (Edinburgh), Rosemary Bailey (QMUL), Richard Pinch (GCHQ), Simon Singh, Tim Gowers (Cambridge) and others.
