Introduction to Mathematics at Rutgers - IMR 2003
Mathematics Graduate Program
a mini-conference for entering graduate students (all in
Hill 705)
Faculty and current graduate
students present this program to help new students review some
background expected
in standard courses, and perhaps begin to discover what's new. We hope
students will use this time to meet each other and to get
acquainted with some continuing graduate students and faculty members.
Lectures will give simple examples and will stress the foundational
importance of the topics. Connections among areas of
mathematics and applications will be emphasized whenever
possible. The presentations will be neither too technical nor
too rapid. We believe that all of the lectures will be useful to all
of the students. Ideally, therefore, all entering students
should attend all presentations. "Glimpses" will be given by
graduate students of their work in some prominent research areas of
the department.
We also hope students will
enjoy the recreational opportunites provided.
