The Buenos Aires Semester in Computability, Complexity and Randomness was an international gathering of Mathematicians and Computer Scientists occurring during the first half of 2013.
The focus was on topics in Computability Theory, Randomness, Computable Structures and Reverse Mathematics, with eyes open for conceptual and practical computational applications.
The activities consisted of a graduate-level course, a weekly seminar on topics to be covered in-depth over the period of the program, and a weekly seminar on individual research interests and related open problems. Most of the schedule was open for small-group research.
Participation in the Semester could be scheduled for any period of time between a week and the six months. Seven senior researchers and eight graduate students participated in the full program, which counted with a total of 45 participants from 15 countries.
