Announcement: The first organizational meeting of COS 597e (seminar on selected topics in theoretical computer science) will meet on Monday, Sept. 25 from 11AM-Noon. The time has been changed from the normal meeting time of 3PM due to a conflicting talk of possible interest at the DIMACS Workshop, which will be held at the Nassau Inn. Please send me e-mail after the organizational meeting if you are interested in enrolling in the seminar, but you were not able to attend the first meeting. I've included some basic information about COS 597e below: Best wishes, Amit Sahai Asst. Professor of Computer Science --- COS 597e: Seminar on Selected Topics in Theoretical Computer Science Meeting time: Monday 3-4:50 (Changed to 11AM for Sept 25) Meeting room: 301 This advanced seminar is for graduate students and advanced undergraduates interested in conducting research in theoretical computer science. Note: Undergraduates who wish to enroll in this seminar should contact me by e-mail or in person after the organizational meeting. Students enrolled in the course will present research papers that lead to the frontier of research in theoretical computer science in selected areas. We will try to build up to the point where students should be able to engage in research in the areas which we investigate. Student presentations of research papers will be the only formal requirement of the seminar. There will be no exams or problem sets. It will be assumed that students attending the seminar have basic knowledge of complexity theory and mathematical maturity.
