DynaLite Graduate Student Seminar
DynaLite: A Graduate Student Seminar
Spring 2006: Mondays from 4:10-5:00 pm in the Math Conference Room
This seminar is designed to help grad students learn about different fields of mathematics with the hope of
generating research interest. DynaLite is open to anyone, but the its priority is to graduate students. The
DynaLite seminar is an excellent forum for practicing talks, preparing for conferences, and learning and discussing
mathematics in a student friendly atmosphere. Most students who have attended in the past speak very highly of this
seminar. We have an excited group; the seminar should once again prove to be a lot of fun. Snacks will also be
provided for added pleasure.
