Syllabus Construction for Math TA's
Abstract: Do you think of your syllabus as a way to give students your contact information and the name of the textbook? As a TA, do you even think you need to hand out a syllabus? This talk will focus on the ways in which a well-written syllabus can help you avoid many common classroom problems. It will be based on the paper "The Purposes of a Syllabus", by J. Parkes and M.B. Harris, interpreted to address the specific needs of graduate students who are TA's for math department courses.

We will go to lunch afterwards. If you would like to go to lunch, but can't attend the talk, please meet in the mailroom at 11:50.

The Pila-Wilkie theory: The rational points of a definable set
Abstract: We will continue our series of talks on the paper 'The rational points of a definable set' by Pila and Wilkie. In this talk, we start looking at the number-theoretic part of the paper (Section 6) and give a full proof of Proposition 6.1, the main ingredient from number theory. Number theorists welcome! The next talk will be on Friday, April 13th.
