MATH 599--MATH PRESENTATIONS SEMINAR--SPRING 2021
HOW THIS SEMINAR WILL WORK:
The goal of this seminar is to hone your mathematical talk skills, especially with a view to job talks.
Each student will give two talks (on his/her area of dissertation work):
One will be a talk for a general audience, like a math colloquium.
Ideally this should be a Beamer talk (online)
The other will be a seminar talk for a more specialized audience
(also online).
Right after each talk, there will be a critique period by the audience,
including me—point out to the speaker what you liked, and what needs
improvement.
SCHEDULING: I will contact each student to get a date for the first talk (colloquium)
GRADING: each student must give two talks for a passing grade.
