Theory Students' Lunch and Reading Group
Student Lunch
Each week many of the theory students meet to have lunch together.
The event is mostly a social event so that the students can stay
in touch with each other - sharing gossip, advice, news, etc.
about theory, graduate school, and life. All are welcome to
attend. News and planning of the weekly lunch is communicated
via the theory students email list. For more information, please
contact Tyson Williams, "tdw" at the cs.wisc.edu server.
The lunch day and time for Fall 2011 is Friday at noon.
We meet at that time in the lobby by the elevators and go
from there (while they are still there, we usually go to
the carts on the State St. mall and eat at Memorial union
by the lake). New graduate students are encouraged to
attend.
Reading Group
Also each week, but separately from the lunch group (i.e.
different time and day) theory students meet to discuss a paper or
topic of interest to the group. Topics range from
fundamental theorems and tools to current research. Each
week a different person chooses (with the approval of
those present the previous week) a paper/topic to present.
Information about upcoming meetings will be posted to this
web-page in addition to being mailed to the theory-reading
mailing list. To join the list, go to theory-reading
list and follow the instructions. Any questions and
comments should be directed to "seeun" at the cs.wisc.edu
server.
The meetings typically last 60-90 minutes.
