Faculty Advisor: Meera Sitharam
Other Faculty:
Below is a list of general goals of the Algorithms and Theory Club. We will meet once a week (time and place to be decided). The number of meetings devoted to each event (per semester) is included.
1. Discussion of problems of general interest. Anyone can feel free to post good problems. Problems (and solutions) may be emailed to me for inclusion on this page. All distinct, correct solutions will be posted a week or more after a problem is posted. Note that we do not plan to schedule regular meetings to discuss these problems. Rather all interaction will be by email and through this page. Click here to view new and previously posted problems
2. Discussion of Ph. D qualifiers/Masters non-thesis exam problems including questions that
have previously appeared on these exams. Questions from algorithms for the
non-thesis option and from algorithms and theory for Ph. D exam will be
discussed. There will be 4 meetings and these will be scheduled close to the
exam dates for the semester.
3. Discussion of research problems (4 meetings). Will provide an opportunity for students and/or faculty to collaborate on projects. There will be two main presenters who volunteer to describe problems related to their research during each meeting.
4. Talks by faculty (4 meetings) and students (4 meetings) on research problems and special topics.
Note: If you are interested in participating in the activities of the club and wish to receive email about upcoming events please send me an email (srkamath@cise.ufl.edu) and I will add you to the mailing list.
Below I will also cross-list events from other seminars that are of immediate interest to our group.
