Meeting
Description
We will hold a class conference in 208 Lewis Hall on Saturday, February 28, 2015. This will be the Sixth Pacific-Coast Variational Conference (SPCVC). I will ask participants to present a 15-25 minute talk on a paper from the scientific literature that uses the calculus of variations. Your talk (and participation) account for 1/3 of your grade. Students wishing to give an M.S. presentation should plan on giving a 25 minute talk.
Students who are unable to attend the meeting may instead submit a 10-20 page (double-spaced) term paper on some topic having to do with the calculus of variations. The term paper is due (by 11:30 am) on the last day of lectures.
