This course is intended to broaden students' perspective of mathematical research areas, while simultaneously introducing important mathematical concepts. More than a survey course, we plan to start from the beginning and develop selected topics to the point that students can grasp some of the central ideas important at a research level.

Spring 2011 Course

Organizer: Andrejs Treibergs
