DAWS  Workshop on Uncertainty Propagation


How can we describe the limits of our knowledge and do work in spite of what we do not know?

1 March 2023, Crush Hall, University of Liverpool


Agenda

Directions to Crush Hall

Crush Hall is in the Harrison Hughes building. Take the lift to 1st floor, turn right, walk straight toward window through door, turn left, walk up three steps, first door on the right.
