Day 14, Mat194: Mathematical Sciences Seminar

• Your poster (which you may pick up after I've graded it).
• Your report (see the syllabus).

During the poster session you will also have a chance to visit your peers, because I'll be asking you to evaluate the projects, too.

• First I'd like you to stake out your territory for Wednesday, so that we can set up and just go on Wednesday. So have a look around, and see what would work for you. You may have different needs (i.e. some may be using computers, so you might need to be near an outlet, perhaps).

  We can have some people on the interior of the room, if you prefer, day of the show. I kind of like that, as it's more "milling about" friendly.

  But today let's establish ourselves around the walls, to make the speed-dating process easier.

• So take your preferred positions, and then I'll match you up. We'll rotate about the room, with four minutes on each poster.
  • Your job as a presenter:

    At this point, you should be working on your "elevator speech" version of the poster, sharing

    • your math story, and
    • some interesting mathematics.

    I'd think about making it a three-minute spiel.

  • Your job as a visitor:

    listen, first; then ask questions, point out things, ask about anything that's mysterious, etc. Give honest, constructive feedback.
