The CUNY Graduate Forum In Probability is a weekly discussion for graduate students interested to hear some probability. The setup is informal, to favor questions and discussions. The students are welcome to suggest concepts and problems in probability they might be interested in.
The CUNY Probability Seminar will have both in-person and online talks. During Spring 2023 forum will be held on Tuesdays in room (4214.03) from 10:00 to 11:00 AM EST. If you are interested in speaking at the forum or would like to be added or to be removed from the forum mailing list, then please get in touch with either of the forum’s coordinators:
