Wiener Lectures

Students in the classroom listening to a lecture

The annual Norbert Wiener Lectures feature a series of three talks by a distinguished mathematician. The first talk is a public lecture that should be accessible to anyone with a modest mathematical background; then there is typically one talk at the level of an undergraduate colloquium and one for a specialized audience. The Wiener lecturer is invited to visit for a full week in order to interact with faculty and students.
