The Landau Lecture series

It is usually suggested that one lecture be accessible to the university scientific community at large and the additional two lectures may be more specialized and of interest only to professional mathematicians and specialists.

Begining in 1996 with the lectures of W. Thurston, The center has begun videotaping the Landau lectures and maintaining a collection on videotape of these lectures. The tapes are available from the mathematics library and can be borrowed for short periods.

Notice: The lecture series continues as The Landau Lecture series, an Einstein Institute of Mathematics annual lecture series, as of 2011.
