Tasks and Duties

We will hold an all-day conference on Saturday, February 28, 2009.
I will provide refreshments for the conference.

I will ask each of you to present a 15-25 minute talk summarizing
a recent paper from the scientific literature that uses the calculus of
variations. Your talk counts for 1/3 of your grade.

Students wishing to give an M.S. presentation should plan on giving
a 25 minute talk. Most of the M.S. talks will be scheduled for the
Master's Presentation Symposium on March 5th.

Students who are unable to attend the meeting may submit a 10-20 page
term paper. The term paper is due the last day of lectures.
