The Arizona Graduate Probability Seminar consists of weekly, graduate-level talks on mathematical probability and its many applications in the sciences.  The seminar was created by University of Arizona Mathematics graduate students and will be hosted by the University of Arizona Mathematics Department.  Speakers are allotted 50 minutes and some time for questions and answers from the audience.

The primary goal of this seminar is to provide a platform for graduate students to communicate ideas with students and professionals in mathematics and the sciences.  In particular, we wish to promote discussion of mathematical techniques and scientific application of probability theory among graduate students in mathematics and the sciences.  In an effort to attract audience members from either dicipline to speak at and attend this seminar, the Spring 2008 talks will be organized so that thoses talks featuring applications of probability in the sciences (Science) will alternate with talks more focused on careful analysis of the mathematics itself (Math); however, any talk should be made accessible to graduate students with a basic knowledge of mathematical probability.

Finally, the seminar will prioritize but not restrict itself to graduate student speakers.  Professionals (foremostly, post-doctoral students) are encouraged to attend and, on occasion, address the seminar.  Professionals from the sciences with interests in mathematical probability are also highly encouraged to participate.       - Ben Dyhr  (Organizer - Spring 2008)
