This page is devoted to materials and links related to the mathematical landscape(s) seminar for the spring of 2011. The goal of the seminar is to introduce to (graduate) students some of the research areas of current interest to faculty in our department. Here you will find a schedule of talks and titles, as they become available, and links to information of potential interest to the participants (and speakers). Materials in the public domain will be placed on the Public directory. Materials not in the public domain will be placed in the class LockBox. (Username and password can be obtained from the instructor.) |
