The Algebra/Geometry/Physics Seminar

It usually meets on Wednesdays 2:30-4:00pm in Math Tower P-131.

The talks are usually 60-minute-long. The extra time is for questions, if any. The style is informal and many questions are usually asked. Speakers should keep this fact in mind when preparing their 60-minute-talk.

The seminar is usually attended, as its name suggest, by people from a variety of different fields.

We usually like speakers to aim great part of their talk to a general audience.

They should not assume that they will be speaking to specialists in their area.

Rather, we would like the speakers to spend some time describing the field at large, making efforts to present ideas, concepts and techniques in a way that is accessible to as vast an audience as possible, including first year graduate students.
