The $``\vec{w}h\alpha\mathfrak{t}\;\; i\mathbb{S}\ldots\text{?''}$ Seminar is a cycle of talks organized each semester by students at the three universities of Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Technische Universität Berlin. Each talk of the $``\vec{w}h\alpha\mathfrak{t}\;\; i\mathbb{S}\ldots\text{?''}$ Seminar is characterized by the following:
The $``\vec{w}h\alpha\mathfrak{t}\;\; i\mathbb{S}\ldots\text{?''}$ Seminar takes place almost every Friday of each of the semesters either as a prelude to a MATH+ Friday Colloquium or as a stand-alone talk by a student wanting to speak a particular topic. The talks usually take place at 13:00, although there can be variations for those sessions that happen on a Friday without a colloquium.
When the seminar takes place in person, there are four primary locations:
However, the talks can take place in other places on exceptional dates.
The $``\vec{w}h\alpha\mathfrak{t}\;\; i\mathbb{S}\ldots\text{?''}$ Seminar receives the support of the
which is the the graduate school of mathematics of the three univeristies of Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin. The BMS provides the $``\vec{w}h\alpha\mathfrak{t}\;\; i\mathbb{S}\ldots\text{?''}$ Seminar with video equipment, seminar rooms and funding for several events.
