MA820
Interdisciplinary Seminar in Modelling and its Applications
0.0 Credit

All students in the program must attend the Seminar in the fall and winter terms, for the duration of their time in the program. The seminar will include presentations from guest speakers, as well as faculty from the program, and may occasionally be combined with the existing MS2Discovery Seminar Series events devoted to mathematical and statistical modelling. Such events frequently feature world-renowned researchers in all application domains of the program. This seminar not only will expose students to the challenges of real-world problems, but also will teach them from first-hand experience how to communicate the modelling tools in the application domains with their own technical language. Students are also expected to attend other specialized research seminars, as appropriate.

To document attendance of the Interdisciplinary Seminar, students are required to complete a brief statement indicating which presentations they attended (speaker name, institution, title, date) and a two to three sentence summary or critique of each seminar. This seminar attendance form shall be included in the annual report as an appendix. Students are required to attend a minimum of six presentations every year.
