Pure Mathematics Seminars
http://www.ma.rhul.ac.uk/~elsholtz/seminar/pureseminar.html
This term's programme shows that mathematics is used in a wide range of
different disciplines. Two talks are on game theory,
which is of interest in economics. Two talks are on cryptography, one
in mathematical biology, one in complexity theory and
some in pure mathematics, of course...
