We also encourage speakers to take 2-3 seminars to delve into a topic in depth. | + | Talks will conceivably cover a broad spectrum, but in general, we envision not-too-technical talks emphasizing ideas. Talks are by students for students, but everyone is welcome. We also encourage speakers to take 2-3 seminars to delve into a topic in depth. Practice qualifying exam talks are typically given in the <a href="http://galois.math.ucdavis.edu/AboutDept/StudentRunSeminar">Student Run Research Seminar</a>. However, the Student Run GT Seminar is a great place for practice conference talks or if you are invited to speak at another institution's seminar. |

That seminar has a general audience, while the audience for this seminar can be assumed to have familiarity with some algebraic topology and manifold theory.
