PIMS Distinguished Lectures
The PIMS Distinguished Lectures Series is sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) for the purpose of bringing prominent national and international mathematical scientists to the University of Regina community. This on-going series began in 2009 and continues to be a valuable and important endeavour.
