QED Today
by Ayden Eddings 21 Apr '25

21 Apr '25

Hi Everyone, We will be having a QED session today at the usual time, in the usual place. As a reminder, on Mondays we have been doing topology as a group, and on Fridays algebra. Topology: Take a look at some point-set problems (those are section A on the topology qual) Analysis: Convergence of series of functions! Algebra: We will look at general ring theory problems Best, Ayden [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Ayden Eddings Graduate Teaching Asst University of Nebraska–Lincoln Department of Mathematics Lincoln, NE

QED this week
by Ayden Eddings 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

Hi all, QED will occur as usual this week. For Monday we'll be covering topology, primarily covering space theory and Seifert van Kampen. We will also meet on Friday as usual. I'm not including any specific quals because at this point those in 818, 826, and 872 can do most problems on most quals. Best, Ayden

QED for this week!
by Ayden Eddings 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

Hi QEDers, Here are the problems for this week. Since 818 students have an exam a week from today, I have focused the algebra problems on matrices to help prepare for that. Analysis, January 2019 [Yes, the entire thing], note that the "Riemann condition" is showing that the box sum of your integral can be made smaller than \varepsilon. At least I think so, Rudin doesn't use this term. Algebra, January 2021, Problem 7 (a and a), May 2022, Problems 4-6 Topology, January 2023, Section A and Problems B1, B2 As the folks in first year courses are getting to the point where they can do most of the problems on any given qual, I will be including more problems when I send out emails. Best, Ayden [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Ayden Eddings Graduate Teaching Asst University of Nebraska–Lincoln Department of Mathematics Lincoln, NE

QED this week
by Ayden Eddings 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Hi QEDers, I've included some problems for this week in our main study areas. Since we have our 872 Midterm on Friday, the topology questions focus on the qual problems which seem to be related to the material in 872. Additionally, Reese has kindly provided a link to a google drive with all the old quals in it, in case you aren't on the sharepoint. Heres the link to that https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17OpgfQq… . Algebra, Jan 2022 Problems 1-5 Analysis, Jan 2022 Problems 1-4 Topology, Jan 2020 B1, June 2020 B1-3 See you this afternoon, where we will probably be doing topology. Best, Ayden [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Ayden Eddings Graduate Teaching Asst University of Nebraska–Lincoln Department of Mathematics Lincoln, NE

QED Problems for this week
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 will discuss organizational things such as the schedule and who will lead the discussion each week. Sincerely, Gabriel Adams
