Mathematics Colloquium
The schedule for Spring 2026 is now complete. The Mathematics Colloquium will resume in the Fall.
About the Colloquium
The Mathematics Colloquium is a unique opportunity for students to learn about new developments in mathematics and what mathematics and statisticians do after they graduate. Hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at California State University, Long Beach, the weekly meetings invite guests from universities, research laboratories, and industry to present and discuss current topics in mathematics. All students are encouraged to attend.
