Numerical Cosmology 2012 Programme

 

Numerical Cosmology 2012 was held from 17th to 20th July at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS), Clarkson Road and Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA. The meeting began at 9.00am on the 17th and closed at 12.15pm on the 20th.

The conference banquet was held on the evening of 18th July in the splendid dining hall at Trinity Hall in central Cambridge.

An outline programme for the workshop is given below. Please click here for a print-friendly PDF version. The slides shown during the talks can be accessed by clicking on some of the talk titles; it is hoped to have more of these available as speakers send in their slides.
