General

  • Time, place: Wednesdays 14-16, seminar room TB353.
  • Coordinator: Prof. Pekka Orponen, room TA348.
  • Registration by TOPI.
  • Prerequisites: First two years' mathematics courses. Familiarity with telecommunications technology (e.g. T-110.300) and algorithm design (T-106.410) an asset.
  • Credits: Seminar presentation plus written summary paper (5-10 pp.) 2 cr. In addition, feedback must be provided for the speakers of at least three other sessions using the respective electronic forms. (Forms will be available via the seminar schedule below.)

Arrangements

  • Pointers to seminar material will be linked to the schedule below by coordinator.
  • An electronic copy of the seminar paper must be mailed by the presenter to the coordinator by Monday 12 noon of the presentation week. The paper will then be linked to the schedule below, for distribution to the other seminar participants. If the presenter provides archivable slides, these will also be linked to the schedule after the presentation.
