Coronavirus (COVID-19) update: Department of Mathematics
My colleagues and I are working towards a return to on-campus teaching in autumn 2021, and are looking forward to recreating the small-group seminars, friendly atmosphere and positive, in-person engagement with mathematics that we all so enjoy. We will of course also be maintaining our current online teaching materials, and will be happy to offer online support teaching for anyone unable to study in York due to the pandemic.
With best wishes,
Niall
