Hi all,
It's been almost a year since the in-person teaching stopped and with it also the seminar for graduate students in discrete math & tcs, https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/dokt_seminar/doktsem1920.html
I find this to be too long, so I want to restart the seminar this semester (unfortunately in the online form, given the situation). The seminar will be led by me and Martin Balko. I always hoped the seminar had beside its scientific value, also a social value. I hope that despite the online form, we can perhaps discuss the presented papers more than is typical in any of the plethora of online talks. Perhaps also chat a bit about how everything is going ...
I know it can be more work to prepare an online talk then a classical blackboard one. On the other hand, everybody can look into the paper on screen, so sharing figures and formulas may be easy. I suppose we can also use the lecture rooms to deliver an online talk, several are equipped for this; and if only one person is present, there should be no danger. So I think that we can try it. Anyway, it is unlikely the normal situation will come back during this semester, and who knows about Fall.
Proposed plan: next Thursday we have an organizational meeting. Anyone can join (and I hope many of you will) to discuss what you think about it, what (if anything) you expect from the seminar, etc. ---> Time: Thu March 11, 10 am (I suppose for at most an hour, but I have time till 12). Then we can perhaps resume what was planned for the spring semester last year and is still listed on the website as cancelled. Of course, if you don't like your paper anymore, change is possible.
The working language will be English (unless of course all participants speak Czech, but I see at least two people among last year participants who don't -- and I think it is a good practice to speak math in English anyway).
If you want to discuss over email, feel free to do so. You can also send an email just to me, so I have an idea how many people are on board.
Stay safe and hopefully see you (online) next week,
R
