Organizational meeting

Spring 2011 FRI Participants

Faculty:
Hailiang Liu, Jue Yan
Postdocs: Tae Gab Ha, Alejandro Velez
Students:

Maksym Pryporov, Yongki Lee, Nattapol Ploymaklamm, Chad Vidden, Hui Yu

FRI Plan:


FRI aims to provide a forum for participants to discuss topics of current interest in computational mathemaitcs; for students, postdocs to present their own research, get feedback and suggestions; for experts to present research results or give tutorial lectures.

Credit: Students can participate without signing up for credit. Students who sign up for credit, through Math 610, typically take one credit; they are expected to attend regularly and to make one presentation. Students who sign up for two credits are expected to attend regularly and to either make three presentations or make one presentation and produce a related written report or project.

Work Schedule: Meetings will be held weekly, with a combination of research discussion and paper presentations, alternatively.
