Watched Avatar at GSC Paradigm JB. RM29.50 for senior ticket, 4DX

While visiting a toilet in R&F Mall, we found a sling bag in one of the toilet cubicles. It contained a few thousand RM, a passport and some papers. Knowing the owner would be frantic and worried, we tried to contact the JB numbers found in the bag but to no avail. Miraculously, we managed to find her while going around the mall, when we spotted a lady who appeared flustered and worried! She is the lady in blue with a baby in the picture.

26 July to 5 August 2026

Who: Applicants between 16-19 years old.

Application is now open. Apply here by 21 December 2025

The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, from game theory, cryptography, and mathematical logic, to AI safety, styles of communication, and cognitive science. The goal of the program is to help students hone rigorous, quantitative skills as they acquire a toolbox of useful concepts and practical techniques applicable in all walks of life.

ESPR’s tuition, room, and board are free for all admitted students. Travel scholarships are also available.

It is a good programme! Lim Li went in 2017, from 18 August to 1 September. Some photos can be found in this post.

The Program on AI and Reasoning (PAIR) is focused on artificial intelligence, cognition, and minds in general.

Where: Somerset, UK.

22 August to 1 September 2026

Combinatorics, Probability and Computing Workshop at Oberwolfach, Germany

Combinatorics, Probability and Computing Workshop

Venue: Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO, Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics)

Date: 14 Sep - 19 Sep 2025

Lim Jeck, last row 4th from left. He will proceed to Oxford for his 1 year postdoc after the workshop

The main theme of this workshop will be the use of probabilistic methods in combinatorics and related areas. Although these methods have been around for decades, the area is developing extremely rapidly, with the development of sophisticated and powerful tools, and numerous very significant breakthroughs in recent years. Much of the focus will be on classical areas of combinatorics, such as Ramsey theory, extremal graph theory, and random graphs, but the workshop will also emphasize connections with (and applications to) other areas of mathematics, such as statistical physics, theoretical computer science, high-dimensional geometry, random matrices, combinatorial number theory, and discrete analysis.
