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 Seeun William Umboh, "seeun" at the cs.wisc.edu server.

The lunch day and time for Fall 2009 is Thursday at 12:30pm. 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.
