The summer school is intended for graduate students and promising undergraduate students from all parts of the world.
Each participant is expected to register for two of the courses. Each course consists of five ninety-minute lectures and two ninety-minute problem sessions each week. These are Dalhousie University graduate courses and we will facilitate transfer credit to the extent possible.
