Doctoral seminar

Kombinatorický seminář pro pokročilé (NDMI041) se v roce 2019/2020 koná (jako již tradičně) ve čtvrtek od 9:50 do 12:10 v S6. During the Summer Semester 2019-2020, the seminar is led by Martin Balko and Hans Raj Tiwary.

The participants of the seminar present papers of general interest from mathematics and theoretical cs The articles are selected by the seminar organizers and/or advisors of participating PhD students. The speaker's task is to read and understand the whole paper, then present the main/most interesting parts of it. Please do explain motivation and "big picture" -- but don't stop there, we want to see the proof, or at least part of it (and overview of the other parts).

The person presenting a paper is also responsible for preparing a one- to two-page summary (handout) before the seminar. Please bring this printed out for the other participants and also send an electronic version by email to hansraj@kam ...

A summary of the proposed articles is available at a special page. Articles from other sources are welcome, but consult them please with the seminar organizers.

Announcements are sent out via mailing list dokt-seminar-l@kam. If you wish to subscribe, visit the archive or change your options, see the mailing list webpage.
