graduate students' reading seminar Oct 25 (+ optional ping pong)
by Robert Samal 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Hi all, This Thursday, instead of the regular seminar meeting, there will be PhD thesis defense of Michal Opler. Same place (S8), starting time 10:40. The typical duration is <= 30 minutes talk, <= 30 minutes discussion, <= 30 minutes official stuff (reading the reports etc.), so we should end by the usual time. The title of the defense is "Structural and Algorithmic Properties of Permutation Classes". However, everybody should come just to see what a defense looks like (and to support Michal). If you are interested in playing ping-pong before the defense, come at the usual time 9:50 to the usual place (S8). Be there on time, because we'll play elsewhere in the building and you would hardly find the place. See you on Thursday, R & P -- Robert Šámal IÚUK MFF UK -- CSI of Charles University

graduate students' reading seminar -- Oct 13, 9:50 in S8
by Robert Samal 12 Oct '22

Hi all, Just a reminder; tomorrow we meet at the regular time -- 9:50 in S8. The program is "extended introduction", also known as "elevator talks": tell us what you are doing in 5-10 minutes. You can choose whether you will say a few words about the motivation for the area of research, your past results, or the problem you are currently working on. Only rule: make it understandable for everybody. See you there, R -- Robert Šámal IÚUK MFF UK -- CSI of Charles University

graduate students' reading seminar (doktorandsky seminar) -- first meeting Oct 6, 10:40 in S8
by Robert Samal 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

(tldr: reserve in your schedule Thursday 10-12 for the seminar :) ) Dear all, In this email I'll (somewhat) briefly (re)introduce to you "doktorandský seminář", a reading seminar for graduate students (formally NDMI041). As we have many students who cannot speak Czech, the seminar will run in English. Further information about the seminar will be sent to the email list dokt-seminar-l(a)kam.mff.cuni.cz, to which you can subscribe at https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/mailman3/postorius/lists/dokt-seminar-l.kam.mff.cun… This email is sent to all PhD students for the sake of the new students and those that missed the seminar before. The seminar is meant for PhD students at KAM & IUUK, who work in cs and/or discrete mathematics. The seminar meets on Thursday 9:50-12:10 (three time slots, with a break of variable duration in between). This semester in S8. This semester it is run by me and Pavel Valtr. We will start Oct 6 with an organizational meeting (selection of papers & dates, but also an open discussion about possible changes to the seminar format, etc.). The first meeting will start at 10:40 (in room S8). Typically, each meeting we learn about one paper from one of the participants. The papers are carefully preselected, so that hopefully we can learn from them something useful -- be it a new technique, important recent definition and development, or possibly more of these together. The person presenting the paper shall read it in advance. For each of the papers there will be a "mentor" who will be glad to help you decide what to present and how. More about this in the first meeting. The seminar has a web page at https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/dokt_seminar/ At this time you will find here a history of past years and some papers to select from -- many more will be added at the first meeting. If you are unsure about what paper to choose, you may also discuss it with your advisor. He or she may also suggest a paper especially for you -- this is certainly possible and welcome, pending confirmation by the seminar organizers -- to check if the paper is suitable (that is, interesting also for people who would not be directly working on the topic of the paper). If you've read the whole email, my respect and appreciation! See you at the seminar! Robert -- Robert Šámal IÚUK MFF UK -- CSI of Charles University
