Sorry, but this talk is cancelled.

Prof. Jordan&#8217;s other engagments fell through, so he won&#8217;t be in Cambridge next week,  unfortunately. However, he has kindly offered to come and give a talk on some other date, so watch this space (er&#8230; or maybe watch the space on the Cambridge UPA website!).
