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 Ph. D qualifiers exam problems including questions that have previously appeared on the exam. Questions from algorithms and theory will be discussed. There will be 4 meetings and these will be scheduled close to the exam dates for the semester. Here are some strategies for working on qualifiers.

2. Discussion of research problems (4 meetings). Will provide an opportunity for students and/or faculty to collaborate on projects. There will be one main presenter who volunteers to describe problems related to their research during each meeting.

3. Talks by faculty (4 meetings) and students (4 meetings) on research problems and special topics.
