The Graduate Student Seminar series features introductory level talks for graduate students. Talks are contributed by both graduate students and faculty and last between 40 and 50 minutes, and a significant portion of the talk should be aimed at students with a first-year graduate level of knowledge. The intended audience is the graduate students, and questions and discussion are encouraged. Bagels are provided courtesy of the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
If you are interested in seeing the current schedule or you would like to give a talk, please go here.
