Student presentations and discussions of research; review of topics.

Instructors

• Dr. Pornrat Ruengrot (pornrat.rue<at>mahidol.edu)
• Dr. Chatchawan Panraksa (chatchawan.pan<at>mahidol.edu)

Remarks

• Students must submit their reports 3 days prior to their main presentations.
• After the presentation, students make necessary corrections (if any) and submit the final report within 3 days of their presentation date.

Paper

• Choose a mathematical research paper on topics of your interest.
• The journal of the paper should be Q3 or above and the publication year should be 2000 or later.

Mini talks

• About 20-30 minutes each.
• Talk about background materials and technical details of the paper.
• Plan your own series of talks. We give you freedom on this but we will let you know if you are too far off-topic and should come back on track.
• You can use PowerPoint. But we recommend you learn to use Beamer (LaTeX document class). You can find a lot of Beamer templates at overleaf.com.

Main Presentation

• You have 30 minutes to present about your paper.
• There is no need to talk about background materials here (you have already done that in the mini talks). Focus on the paper.

Report

• At least 3 days before your main presentation, you must submit your report so we can read it and give you feedbacks at the presentation.
• The report should be in final version already.
• After the presentation, incoporate the feedbacks/corrections you receive in your report and submit the final report for grading no later than 3 days after the presentation.
• The report must include the following:
  • Cover page - with your name, student ID, course name, etc.
  • Abstract - with your own words, not copy and paste from the paper
  • Table of contents
  • Conclusion - with your own words
  • References
