Upcoming Readings for Ernest Hilbert

by Ernie on 25/02/10 at 10:26 am

What follows is merely a thumbnail sketch of my readings for the first half of the year. More may be added, and you should certainly double-check the details (time, for instance, and lineup) closer to the dates to be sure of what you’ll be getting yourself into. I hope to see you at one of the events.
