http://www.math.psu.edu/seminars/seminar.php?id=2&year=2013.

Center for Computational Mathematics and Applications’ (CCMA) Luncheon Seminar

  • Is principally aimed at graduate students
  • Is 30 minutes long
  • Introduces the Colloquium talk by, for example, defining basic concepts that will be referred to in the Colloquium
  • Is followed by an ongoing discussion over lunch

 

Computational and Applied Mathematics (CAM) Colloquium

  • Is 50 minutes long, including time for questions
  • Focuses on a broad question in the field or discusses a specific question in a general way in order to facilitate a conversation between researchers with different areas of expertise
  • Is accessible to graduate students in all areas of computational mathematics and applications. (At least the first 30 minutes should be accessible to second-­‐year graduate students in applied math; i.e., those who have passed the qualifying exams and first-­‐year courses, which comprise courses in PDEs, numerical methods, general analysis, and general algebra)
