MAT*H COLLOQUIUM

Every semester since Fall, 1974!

Time: 4:00–5:00 p.m., Wednesdays (introductory meeting during the first week of the semester; no talk during the last week of classes; no talk in Thanksgiving week or Spring Break).
Cookies, Coffee and Tea precede the talk at 3:45. Please come!
Place: Darwin 103

Due dates and deadlines are on the course moodle page

Note: Printing material you find on the web does not satisfy any part of these requirements.

Attend all colloquium lectures.
Prepare a reaction paper (typed only) on each lecture, and keep these in a portfolio. Your paper should not be lecture notes. It should be a coherent summary of what the speaker said, what meaning it had for you, and any reaction or comment you have on the topic. Two to three pages would be a respectable length.
Each reaction paper should be turned in via the course moodle site within one week of the lecture.
If you must miss a lecture, you may view a video of it by going to the Mathematics Department’s web-site. If you have technical difficulties, please consult the Department staff. The quality of the videos may occasionally make it difficult to read the slides.
Grading policy: CR/NC only.
It is our custom to invite our off-campus speakers to be our guest for dinner at a local restaurant. You are welcome to join us. If funds permit, we may even buy your dinner! Occasionally we have pizza in Darwin 108 instead.
