+======== ARCHIVED: Optimization Reading Group ========
+THIS PAGE IS ARCHIVED AND NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE
+**This seminar is not currently active. If you would like to start organizing this, you should (1) talk to other grad students and make sure there is enough interest that you will have speakers every week and (2) talk to the Galois Group president to get funding for snacks for the seminar. (Note that the student run research seminar, or SRRS, is an active student run weekly seminar and most people wanting to present do so there as of the 23-24 school year.)**
 This student-run reading group meets weekly to discuss methods and applications of optimization.
