Research Tutorial Groups (RTGs)

You can learn what an RTG is.

Current RTGs

• Representation Theory of the Symmetric Group (Philip Foth)
• Quantum Graphs (Leonid Friedlander)

Format change

Up to academic year 2002-2003, RTG's ran on a Fall–Spring cycle. Starting with calendar year 2004, they run on a Spring–Fall cycle. Thus there were no RTGs in Fall 2003.
