Notre Dame Logic Seminar: Information for speakers

Below is some information for speakers in the Notre Dame logic seminar.

Calendar

The seminar schedule is available here.

Title and abstract

In order to properly publicize your talk, we need a title and abstract about a week before.

Duration

Your talk should last 50 minutes, and we can have up to 10 minutes of questions afterwards.

Audience

The audience consists of model theorists, computability theorists, and computable model theorists, including many students. We appreciate talks which start with some background exposition that is accessible to the students. You can safely assume that the students know a semester of model theory (through the Morley Categoricity Theorem) and a semester of computability (through basic finite injury arguments).

Presentation technology

Our current seminar room has both blackboards and a data projector. When the projection screen is down, there are still two movable blackboard panels that are visible, so it is possible to give a talk using both slides and the blackboard. The projector can be used either with your own laptop, the classroom computer, or the classroom document camera. It is easiest to use the classroom computer; slides can be transferred to the classroom computer using a flash drive or via the web. The document camera works best with paper-- overhead transparencies work, but there is sometimes a glare. If you want to use transparencies, let us know and we will ensure that there is an overhead projector in the room.

Maps

Because of recent changes to the roads around campus, Google Maps does not have correct information. Here are two corrected maps.
  1. Visitor parking in the Southern part of Campus
  2. Access to Ivy Court Inn
