296G, Analysis Participation Seminar, Spring 2004

Advice for speakers:

Relax.
Know what you are talking about.
The goal is to explain the material to your peers; they are the majority of the audience. Faculty are like Hobbits⁽¹⁾: "Hobbits delighted in such things, if they were accurate: they liked to have books filled with things that they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions."
" `Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely, `and go on till you come to the end: then stop.' " ⁽²⁾
Pictures are good.
