ANNOUNCEMENTS


Project must be chosen by 5:00pm on 9/14/20.

An IOP latex template file, with instructions, can be found at iopjnl2e.tar.gz

Students must meet with me by 5:00pm on 9/21/20 to discuss a reading list for their respective projects.

A resource I find more useful than the arXiv for searching is inSpire.

Students should have a preliminary outline for their project by 10/02/20.

Students should have a preliminary version of their manuscript by 11/16/20,
so that it can be reviewed before Thanksgiving.

Students should have a final version of their manuscript by 12/09/20 (last day of class).

Final presentations for student projects will take place during 12/14-18/20.
