Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis Reading Seminar (Spring, 2013)

Course: MAT 290
CRN: 49103
Class: Friday 3:40pm-5:30pm, 2240 MSB

In this reading seminar/journal club, we plan to read the papers (both classic and brand new) on "spectral analysis" in a wide sense, which are ubiquitous in many applications of harmonic analysis and related fields. Any participant who actually makes a classroom presentation on a paper selected from the following list will receive 2 credit units or more depending on how many papers he/she makes presentations. The other participants will receive 1 credit unit (attendance will be checked). The following is our tentative seminar schedule (subject to change).

Mar. 29: Organizational Meeting

Determine the meeting schedule, groupings of the participants depending on the themes of the papers.
