Math 2710M

instructor: Prof. Rich Schwartz

when/where: ICERM Main Lecture Room Tu-Th 10:30-11:50

summary: This is a graduate topics class on geometric structures.
The main idea of the class is to talk about topics
which will be present in the ICERM semester program.
The other main idea is to talk about material
I can present without too much preparation.

texts: None, though I'll mention sources throughout
the class, and sometimes supply notes. See below.

grading: undergraduates cannot take this for a grade.
For everyone else, I'll check your pulse at
the end of the term and give you an A if you are still alive.
