  • Terms: Fall/Winter
  • Meeting time: Tuesday 10:10-11:00. We will set up an additional meeting on Friday once the project starts.
  • Prerequisites: Math 321 or equivalent. You need some experience working with ideas of open and closed sets, and uniform and pointwise convergence. You might have gotten this experience by taking certain courses in Budapest, in an REU, or having done some reading on your own. The project will involve complex analysis, but it’s fine if you haven’t had experience with that.
