to conclude the Pure Departmental Seminar for 2010, there will be a Problem Session on Tuesday 14 December, 12:00 [someroom], UNSW. It is the idea that we all bring one or more problems for discussion that might appeal to the members of the Pure Department and perhaps also to a general audience. Each problem might be an interesting or amusing recreational problem, or it might be the crux of a research paper that you would like help with. Similarly, it could be a general open problem, or it could be a specific technical conundrum. Whichever the case, you should prepare to briefly present the problem in such a way that the other members of the Pure Department (and, ideally, a general audience) can understand it. With luck, new ideas and collaborations could arise from this! To facilitate the session, please send me such problems by email in whichever format you wish, or deliver them on paper in my pigeonhole mailbox. I will type up and collate these into a compendium of problems that will be distributed at the Problem Session on Tuesday 14 December, where the contributors will have the chance to clearly and briefly present their problems. Everyone is welcome to contribute problems, including members of the Applied Mathematics and Statistics Departments, students, and anyone else who might be interested in sharing their problems! =============================================== ___________________________________________________________ THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES DEPARTMENT OF PURE MATHEMATICS _________________DEPARTMENTAL SEMINAR__________________ Speakers: Problem contributors Title: Problem Session Date: Tuesday, 14 December 2010 Time: 12:00 Venue: ?, UNSW Abstract: Share your problems with others, for fun or for solutions!
