For Students

 

 

If you want to be my student:

 

Currently, I am looking for full-time dedicated students:

>  with a good background in probability and computer science for research projects on applications of

     methods of statistical mechanics in computer science.

 

>  with a good background in algebra (in particular category theory) for some theoretical research projects

    related to quantization and quantum field theory in discrete spaces.

 

>  with a good background in graph theory for research projects on applications of discrete spectral geometry

    and Markov chain methods in graph theory.

 

>  with a good background in theory of computation for a research project on foundations of  AI.

 

If you are already my student:

 

> Generally interesting

 

- Randy Pausch's "Time Management"

 

> Use the following sources to learn how to write a scientific text correctly

- Style guide for writing mathematical proofs

- Wikipedia: Manual of style/mathematics

- Mark Tomforde, Mathematical writing: a brief guide

- Kevin P. Lee, A guide to writing mathematics

- AMS style guide

- The grammar according to West

- Mathematical writing for undergraduate students

- Writing for Computer Science

- How to Write a Better Thesis

- How to Write a Better Minor Thesis

- Writing for Computer Science

> Use the following sources to learn how to give a good scientific lecture

 

- Alan Slomson, What makes a good maths lecture?

- John E. McCarthy, How to give a good colloquium

- Paul Halmos, How to talk mathematics

- Matilde Marcolli, The art of giving talks
