Day 12, Mat194: Mathematical Sciences Seminar

Today:

• Announcements:
  • I hope that you had a chance to enjoy your break, re-energized as we gear up for our final month of classes.

  • Actually we only have three topics left. Our last week will be dedicated to appreciating what our colleagues have produced by way of a final "presentation".

• This week:
  • We go from the awesome (Ramanujan's -1/12) to the somewhat mundane but extraordinarily important (What do I want to do with my life?).

  • The source for this week's discussion is this set of "General Recommendations for all Career Paths" within math/stat, as suggested by the math/stat department at UMass Amherst.

  • Please read that document, and then participate in the on-line discussion on Canvas.

  • Robo-writers: the rise and risks of language-generating AI: A remarkable AI can write humans like but with no understanding of what it's saying.
