This seminar will be implemented as a block seminar.
Location and schedule:
- first meeting (introduction and paper assignment): TBA in the first week of the teaching term, maybe online
- second meeting (short talks): TBA in the middle of the term, probably at ZIB, one hour
- final meeting (seminar talks): TBA on one or two days at the end of the semester
Background in Discrete Mathematics as provided by the lecture Discrete Mathematics I is mandatory, some topics can be handled on the basis of Mathematik entdecken I.
In the middle of the term, you are supposed to give a short, introductory talk (at most 5 minutes) on your topic.
The talk must include a literature search, we must encompass at least a forward and a backward analysis.
To obtain the credit points, you are also required to hand in a short summary of your talk (use LaTeX, 5-8 pages). The summary should be sent by e-mail to your advisor. The summary will be graded and then handed back to you. We hope that this feedback will enable you to give a better presentation.
The seminar itself will take place on one or two days in the last weeks of the semester. Talks should be prepared for 45 minutes, so that a duration of 60 minutes including questions is not exceeded. Participation in the *entire* seminar (not only on the day of your own talk) and timely submission of a summary is a requirement for passing.
Your final grade will be composed of 60% and 40% from the evaluation of your talk and paper, respectively.
