Introduction:
This workshop was organised by the Rhodes University Topology group with a purpose of introducing Nelson Mandela University (NMU) and Rhodes University (RU) Mathematics students (2nd to honours level) to some areas of Pure Mathematics offered both at NMU and RU. Lectures in the following areas were given:
1. Lattice Theory, by Dr Mbekezeli Nxumalo
2. Graph Theory, by Dr Sinoxolo Xhanti
3. Topology, by Dr Mbekezeli Nxumalo
There was a competition based on these three areas. This competition was between NMU students and RU students.
Date: 14 September 2024
Venue: Rhodes University, Eden Grove Seminar Room 1&2
