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.

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

26 Nov '24

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

Notes from yesterday
by Nicole Xie 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

Hi all, In this email, I attached the notes from yesterday’s qualifying workshop, which is about question number 2 of the most recent Algebra qualifying exam (June, 2024). Gabriel and I talked to Professor Walker, and this is the note written by him about both parts. It is road map for the whole problem, so feel free to use it. Sorry this email was sent a bit late, Gabriel! Best, Nicole

Results of Organizational Meeting
by Gabriel Adams 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Dear All, We have a room! We'll be meeting 3:30pm-4:30pm on Tuesdays in AVH 345. We will be focusing on Algebra since that is the greatest overlap. Other quals are still available for discussion, so look for those who are taking the same quals. I will lead the discussion for the first meeting. The discussion leader each week will be responsible for bringing 2 problems to guide the studying. These can come from old quals or old homework's. We'll spend 40-50 minutes working on the problem either individually or in small groups. Things specific to algebra: The 2nd years did not see Galois theory, therefore the upcoming qual should have at least 2 problems from that section that do not require Galois theory. (We should confirm this with the GAC and/or Yvonne). Misc: A shared folder with problems and solutions would be good. The discussion leader should be in charge of uploading a solution. There is a discrete qual in October. See you next week! In the meantime, it would be a good idea to review a bit on your own as we'll start right away with old qual questions. Live, Laugh, Love, Gabriel

Qualifying Exam Seminar/Work Accountability Seminar
by Gabriel Adams 29 Aug '24

29 Aug '24

Dear Graduate Students, Do you need to study for quals? Do you need accountability? Do you want to work with other students to study? Introducing the Qualifying Exam Discussion (Q.E.D.) seminar. This seminar is dedicated to studying for qualifying exams and is intended for graduate students but is open to all for dedicated focused work time. The intention is that we will regularly discuss and work on qualifying exam materials. In essence, it will be like a weekly qual workshop without a dedicated expert. If you've already Q'd in a topic I would kindly ask that you do not join those discussions unless specifically invited by the discussion group. The intention is to allow us to struggle on the problems and seek additional help outside of the seminar. I'm willing to lead discussions for Algebra, Discrete, and Topology. If you would like to discuss or work on other quals please join and lead those discussions! Please fill out this survey<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.asp… > (also linked below) to decide what time you would like to meet as well as if you would like to meet more than once a week. Finally, our formal email list is qed(a)lists.unl.edu which you can add yourself to or I can add you too after you fill out the survey. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.asp… Live, Laugh, Love, Gabriel Adams
