by Ayden Eddings 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hi everyone, I've included some old qual problems in the subjects we decided to focus on. I will try and include about 5 problems each week. Please look at them on your own time and then we can discuss them in QED seminar on Friday. Hopefully all of you have Yvonne's email with the link to the old qual archive. If not, here is the link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uofnelincoln.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites… PS. I will talk to Rachelle about adding a Monday reservation for the seminar so we can get some extra time. Algebra: Group Theory June 2024: Pr. 1-3 Jan 2024: Pr. 2,3 Topology: General PSet June 2024: Pr. A1, A3 Jan 2024: Pr. A1, A3 June 2023: Pr.

Qualifying Exam Study Seminar/Questionnaire
by Ayden Eddings 19 Jan '25

19 Jan '25

Hi everyone, I will be organizing the QED seminar this semester. If you don't know, QED stands for Qualifying Exam Discussion (and not Quod Erat Demonstrandum, or something silly like that). The seminar is a dedicated time each week to study for qualifying exams with your fellow students. We will be meeting on 2-3 PM Fridays in Avery 345. Our first meeting will be this Friday, January 24th. If you are considering attending anytime this semester, please fill out the survey at this link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/r/z6FSZ1D36e__;!!PvXuo… I am willing to organize problems each week for some subset of Algebra, Analysis, and Topology. You are welcome to come regardless of which quals you plan to take. All future emails will be sent on the QED mailing list, so make sure you're added to that! Best, Ayden

Fw: QED Seminar Final Call & First Meeting
by Gabriel Adams 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hey all! I just remembered this resource that Sam shared with us. So sorry I forgot to share this with you. I only just remembered because the webpage with the exams is down. If you have typed solutions I believe Sam is willing to add them, though I don't know if he is available to do that over break. ________________________________ From: Sam Macdonald <smacdonald5(a)huskers.unl.edu> Sent: Friday, September 13, 2024 12:56 PM To: Gabriel Adams <gadams11(a)huskers.unl.edu> Subject: Re: QED Seminar Final Call & First Meeting Hey Gabriel, I was wondering if you were storing or keeping track of all the examples / problems that were being worked through during the QED seminar. I think having a bank of worked through solutions is one of the best studying methods for quals, and I’d hate for all the work y’all’re doing every week to be erased every time the board is cleaned. I have a pretty decent chunk of the past algebra problems stored in the OER<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://smakdonald.github.io/Modern-Algebra/bac… > I put together when I was studying for the algebra exam (though I think more than a few of the solutions have issues), and if you send me solutions y’all have worked through I’d love to put them into the OER so others can use them down the line! This applies to other subjects too, not just Algebra! -Sam On Sep 3, 2024, at 11:18, Gabriel Adams via Math-grads <math-grads(a)lists.nebraska.edu> wrote: All, If you did not fill out the survey but are still interested in attending the QED (Qualifying Exam Discussion) seminar then please add yourself to the list qed(a)lists.unl.edu<mailto:qed@lists.unl.edu>, or send me an email (gadams11(a)huskers.unl.edu<mailto:gadams11@huskers.unl.edu>), or attend today.

We'll have a proper room next week. There's been some issues with the room reservation system today. We will discuss organizational things such as the schedule and who will lead the discussion each week. Sincerely, Gabriel Adams

Not Meeting Today and Meeting over Break
by Gabriel Adams 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Hi All, The last week crunch is a lot, and I have some off-campus stuff I need to do today, so I will not be able to host the meeting today. Please feel free to meet without me. I'm not planning on having a meeting during finals week. Thanks for participating this semester and I hope that the seminar has been as helpful for you as it has been for me! Finally, would we be interested in meeting during break? If so, what times/days would work for that? I'm happy to meet more often during break as well. Sincerely, Gabriel Adams

No Meeting Today

Hi All, I'm cancelling the meeting today since break is tomorrow and I have to pack and catch up on some homework and grading, and I imagine others might need the extra time to do so as well. Instead, for today (and possibly over break) let's work on problems from the May 2018 qual and spend most of our next meeting discussing our solutions. Sincerely, Gabriel
