Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy

Intermediate Seminar: Physics 172.711-712

Fall of 2005 and Spring of 2006

Meets Tuesday at noon in Bloomberg 361

Attendance is required at EVERY seminar, both fall and spring. (If you must miss, please get permission first)

The speaker is responsible for providing the overhead projector, etc.

All talks will be cut off sharply to allow 5 minutes discussion

One paper must be published (by you) on the World Wide Web: please give me the URL when it becomes available, and you must hand in a paper copy of a TeX version of the other paper.

Your Grade is 50% your two talks, 25% your web paper, 25% your TeX paper

Speakers may exchange dates by mutual agreement (but BOTH parties must notify me immediately, via email only!)
