What is it like doing a PhD in maths and being an academic?

Abstract

This week's Fridays@2 will be a panel discussion focusing on what it is like to pursue a research degree. The panel will share their thoughts and experiences in a question-and-answer session, discussing some of the practicalities of being a postgraduate student, and where a research degree might lead afterwards.

How to make the most of your tutorials

Abstract

This session will look at how you can get the most out of your lectures and tutorials. We’ll talk about how to prepare effectively, make lectures more productive, and understand what tutors expect from you during tutorials. You’ll leave with practical tips to help you study more confidently and make your learning time count.


This session is likely to be most relevant for first-year undergraduates, but all are welcome.

What does a good maths solution look like?

Luci Bonatto
Abstract

We'll discuss what mathematicians are looking for in written solutions.  How can you set out your ideas clearly, and what are the standard mathematical conventions?

This session is likely to be most relevant for first-year undergraduates, but all are welcome.
