In the "presentation" part of the seminar we'll have
our very own: Jeff Denny speak on Math Computer
facilities, math networking and creating home pages.
We'd like to encourage all GS to show up and meet the rest of the GANG.
Come and share your experience and worries with us - "together we all
could make a difference".

Math Networking and More
In recent years there has been renewed interest in theta function theory.
In these talks we'll define theta functions, explain their basic
properties, and describe an easy approach that enables us to prove
certain identities between them using the residue theorem on the torus.
Later we will describe certain geometric applications of theta functions;
e.g, their applications to the theory of modular curves.

Graduate Student Discussion
Survive the Game! Graduate Standing & Requirements in Math, PhD (pure & applied) Prelim Exams, Faculty & Their Research
The 30 minute social (3:30 - 4:00PM) will be
a very informal junior/senior graduate student (GS)
discussion. A panel of 6 upper level GS's will
share their views and answer questions regarding:
Teaching, Research and Service in the Math Dept at
FSU, Math faculty their students and research fields.

Theta Functions Modular Curves and Platonic Solids
We'll explain a basic theory of theta functions
and how they produce mappings of modular curves into Projective
spaces. We'll then explain how these mappings generalize the
classical platonic solids.

Logic and Mathematics---from Cantor to Shelah
I discuss the role of logic in mathematics in the light of both
classical and recent advances in mathematical logic. The concepts and
methods of logic have helped us to understand, for example, why
Cantor's Continuum Hypothesis, and algorithmic solution of Diophantine
equations (Hilbert's 1st and 10th problems), are hard or impossible to
solve. On the other hand, the logical analysis of mathematical
structures has uncovered a rich general theory of classes of
structures with a so called complete first order axiomatization. The
most beautiful manifestation of this is S. Shelah's Classification
Theory, the most famous result of which can be summarized as follows:
Classes of structures with a complete first order axiomatization
always contain either maximally many structures, which are moreover
indistinguishable from each other, or rather few structures, all
easily distinguishable from each other.
