TIME: 3:35 p.m. – 4:25 p.m.
ROOM: Ayres Hall 314
TITLE: Responsibilities, Classroom Management, and other Things to Remember
Are we students or are we instructors? What added responsibilities are there besides making assessments and grading them, and how do you deal with it? We will talk about how to manage your class, policies and procedures for cheating, and where to draw the line between student and teacher.

ANALYSIS SEMINAR

TIME: 3:35 p.m. – 4:25 p.m.
ROOM: Ayres Hall 320
SPEAKER: Professor Mike Frazier
TITLE: Classical Background for Wavelets: Haar Functions and Littlewood-Paley Theory
ABSTRACT: This is the first of several lectures introducing wavelet theory from the harmonic analysis perspective. We start by describing the first and easiest example of wavelets, the Haar functions. We then show that the Haar expansion is analogous to the Calderon formula expansion associated with Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory.
