As part of this project small workshops in linear algebra where held both nationally and internationally. The main workshop website is https://sites.google.com/view/tusdcu-linearalgebraworkshop/home

A one day workshop to help bring together early stage researchers to learn and discuss topics in Linear algebra.

On Successful Completion of the event the students should be able to:
Critically evaluate design publication processes especially food styling for food photography and print.
Develop a professional e-publication suitable for wide spread distribution
Generate & adhere to a design brief.
