Rutgers University--Department of Mathematics
Faculty Research Perspectives

Each week, a member of the graduate faculty will offer an introduction to an active area of research. The seminar is open to all, and first and second year graduate students are especially encouraged to attend.

Speakers are expected to give a talk which is accessible to graduate students. The paper How to give a good colloquium by John E. McCarthy has some useful guidelines for planning an appropriate talk.
