Summer school on Flag Algebras hosted by RTG - UIUC will happen on Jun 28 to July 2.
Lectures: 9:30-10:30, 11:00-12; Tutorials: 1:30-2:30, 3:00-4:00. All time is Central Time using Zoom.
The goal of the summer school is to give a practical introduction to Flag Algebras. That means we will cover theoretical basics as well as practical usage of a computer to run the calculations. The morning lectures are open to everyone. The afternoon tutorial sessions have capped capacity. No prior knowledge of flag algebras is expected.
Lecturer: Bernard Lidický
There is no registration fee. However participants are required to register here (for tutorials by Jun 1).
