How to Find Upcoming Seminars on the NYU Courant Mathematics Site

Updated

Open the NYU Courant Department of Mathematics homepage (math.nyu.edu) and scroll to the Upcoming Seminars section, which sits below News & Announcements. Each entry there gives you the seminar series, the speaker and affiliation, the time, and the room, so you can decide whether to attend without leaving the page.

What the Section Shows

The homepage lists seminars in a compact block, one entry per talk. A typical entry contains:

Field Example from the page
Seminar series Convexity Seminar; Geometry Seminar; Mostly Biomathematics Lunchtime Seminar
Talk title "Displacement convexity in electromagnetic optimal transport on Lorentzian manifolds"
Speaker and affiliation Rotem Assouline, MIT
Time 11AM; 12:45PM
Location Warren Weaver Hall 1314

The page currently shows entries dated Tuesday, October 20, 2026, so the block reflects the near-term schedule rather than a full semester calendar.

Steps to Locate a Talk

  1. Go to math.nyu.edu.
  2. Scroll past the news headlines to the Upcoming Seminars heading.
  3. Read the entries in order. Each one starts with the talk title, followed by the series name, then the speaker, time, and room.
  4. Match the series name to your interest. The same speaker can appear twice on the same day under different series — for example, Robert Shapley (NYU) is listed at 12:45PM in Warren Weaver Hall 1314 for both the Mostly Biomathematics Lunchtime Seminar and the Computational Neuroscience Seminar.
  5. Note the room before you go. All entries shown currently point to Warren Weaver Hall 1314, but confirm per entry rather than assuming a fixed room.

Getting More Detail

The homepage block is a summary. To see abstracts, full schedules, or past talks, follow the seminar series name or the individual entry, which links to that series' own page. If a talk you want is not listed, check the series page directly — the homepage block only surfaces a handful of upcoming items at a time.

Common Snags

  • Same time, two listings. As with the Shapley entries above, a single talk can appear under two series. Treat it as one event unless the titles differ.
  • Dates move. The block shows a specific date (October 20, 2026 in the current listing). Re-check the page close to the date rather than relying on a saved copy.
  • Room numbers repeat. Multiple talks in the same room on the same day is normal; use the time and series to tell them apart.
