In addition, graduate students from Bath and Reading presented posters describing their current research.

The meeting started with coffee at 10:30 AM, and finished by 5 PM. The full timetable is available.

Iain Duff produced a photographic record of the day.

Previous meetings occurred at Bath in 2002 and 2004, and at RAL in 2003.

Where did the posters go ?

  
  

aah ... here they are

  
  

Nick Gould welcomes the masses, all 51 of them

  
  

Arieh Iserles, the master of rapid oscillation

  
  

Mid-morning and the audience is still awake

  
  

Some very much so ..

  
  

Ivan Graham scattering acoustically

  
  

John Reid with his reduced bandwidth

  
  

Adrian Hill showing his algebraic stability

  
  

Nick no longer welcoming but optimizing as usual

  
  

and they are still awake ..

  
  

Nick Higham and his new vector spaces
