Every Wednesday afternoon, Tom, his students and his visitors get
together for a weekly group seminar.
Each participant gives a short, focused presentation on a
technical topic which will challenge and/or entertain everyone in the
group during what are known as
two-minute round robins. Because many Coverians
regard this weekly seminar as a
hallmark of their Tom Cover experience, we will hold a similar
session in the afternoon called
Recent Results, Open Problems, and Mathematical Puzzles.
Please let us know know if you would like to participate with a
two-minute teaser.
