 The syllabus for the course is as defined by the lectures described in detail below. I expect you to be able to present the basic concepts and ideas discussed during the lectures. The exercises should be viewed as an integral part of the syllabus. The syllabus for the course is as defined by the lectures described in detail below.

 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.
