Pizza Seminar Details
Pizza seminars take place every first Tuesday of the month at 4pm in BURN1205 and we provide free pizza after in the lounge (room 1024/1025), funded by the department and Prof. Mehdi Dagdoug!
How to Present
Interested in giving a presentation? Here's what you need to know:
- Presentations are typically 20-25 minutes long,
- Mathematicians are curious creatures, you'll probably be asked at least a few questions,
- You can talk about any kind of math/stats you want, as long as you find it interesting,
- No need to go into heavy details, a high-level ideas-focused talk can be much more fun to us non-experts,
- You can use either a projector or a blackboard. (Bonus points if you use both at once!)
If that sounds like something you want to do, send us an email at pgss.gsams@mail.mcgill.ca!
