 As part of the oral exam, the students should give short presentations of topics assigned to them. These are topics that are not covered by the lectures. You may choose a topic yourself (to be approved by me) or choose one from the following list: As part of the oral exam, the students should give short presentations of topics assigned to them.

 The aim of the presentations is to convey to your peers what the topic is about and the most important and interesting problems and results associated with it. You are not expected to study proofs of deep theorems, but you should be able to say a little more than what we can find on the Wikipedia. You may choose to give a blackboard lecture or a Beamer/Powerpoint presentation. Each presentation should last for about 15--20 minutes. The aim of the presentations is to convey to your peers what the topic is about and the most important and interesting problems and results associated with it.

-Please let me know your choice of topic before **March 29**. There should be only student per topic. Once a topic is chosen, I will make a note of it in the list above. Accordingly, we follow the principle of "first-come, first-served" when assigning topics. +Please let me know your choice of topic before **March 29**. There should be only one student per topic.
