Note:
There are two types of projects, one is reading and the other is research.
For reading projects, the group is supposed to read all the papers in the project and give a presentation to me any time before the end of semester. You’ll have about 2 hours for the presentation, and I may interrupt a lot. Two hours won’t be enough to present all details, so I’ll choose what lemmas to present along the way.
For research projects, you are not expected to solve those open problems,
but you will what you tried, and why those approaches failed. You are
welcome to discuss with me during working on those problems in the
semester. (In case that you do solve the problems, you’ll surely get an
A regardless of your homework performance.)
You can propose your own project. Send me the papers you’d like to read
or the open questions you’d attack, and I’ll approve it as long as those are
at a suitable level.
