Dear all,
The graduate students' seminar is for PhD students at KAM & IUUK, and is open
also to anybody else interested, in particular to undergraduate students and to
other PhD students from our faculty and from Prague universities who have
interests in the areas of research at KAM & IUUK. The seminar meets on Thursday
9:50-12:10 in S6. This semester it is run by Martin Balko and Pavel Valtr.
The first meeting is an organizational meeting (selection of papers & dates, but
also an open discussion about possible improvements to the seminar format,
etc.). The first meeting is shorter than the meetings later in the semester,
therefore it starts at 10:40 (in room S6).
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 and on the seminar web page
https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/~dsemweb/
If you are unsure about which 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).
Further information about the seminar will be sent to the email list
dokt-seminar-l(a)kam.mff.cuni.cz, to

See you at the seminar tomorrow!
Martin and Pavel
