|-<br />
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE" | <br />
Did the Universe come from nothing? Why are we moral? Where did we come from? According to some signs on Bascom Hill these are the important questions in life. Sadly the poor person who made these signs does not know what the really important questions are: What is David Zureick-Brown going to saying in his NTS talk? How many rational points are on the projective curve given (in affine coordinates) by:<br />
$$y^2 = x^6 + 8x^5 + 22x^4 + 22x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x + 1?$$<br />
If you would like to be enlightened by the answers to these truly important questions come to my talk where everything will be illuminated… Or at least some of the background for Coleman and Chabauty’s method for finding rational points on curves will be discussed<br />
<br />
PS: The number of references to Elijah Wood will be bounded — just like the number of rational points on our curves.<br />

|-<br />
| bgcolor="#BCD2EE" | <br />
The Jacquet-Langlands theorem states that given two quaternion algebras, then certain automorphic forms for one of them are in canonical bijection with certain automorphic forms for the other. This seems far too general and also a bit vague.So if one translates the statement of the JL theorem down a bit, we should have that certain classical modular forms should be related to certain "modular forms" on other quaternion algebras. We will define modular forms for quaternion algebras, and we will see that for definite quaternion algebras they are very concrete algebraic objects.<br />

In preparation for Thursday's talk on the Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces, I will attempt to build up enough of the definitions and background theory of differential geometry to define what a K3 surface is. In particular, I hope to explain how K3 surfaces fit into a larger classification of algebraic surfaces, allowing us to prove theorems in a more restricted setting before tackling surfaces of general type. Time permitting, I might even give a couple examples of K3 surfaces. If we're really lucky, I might even have time to explain the hilarious semi-joke in the title above.<br />

This will be a survey-level talk.

The discriminant parametrizes quadratic number fields well, but it will not<br />
work for cubic number fields. In order to develop a parametrization of<br />
cubic number fields, we will introduce the correspondence between a cubic<br />
ring with basis and a binary cubic form. The fact that there is a nice<br />
correspondence between orbits under <math>GL_2(\mathbb{Z})</math>-action will give the<br />
parametrization of cubic fields.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Mega Math Meet ==<br />
<br />
This page is for organisers of the Mega Math Meet, and in particular for storing logistics information, template TeX files, possibly past exams, etc. As this is a public page, it should not be used for storing contestant data, non-public results information, nor as a repository for sharing the current year's draft problems as they are written.<br />
<br />
== TeX Instructions ==<br />
<br />
The exam is divided into usually around 5 problems--3 to be done individually and 2 do be done by a team. Problems are often subdivided into separate questions, each worth a specified number of points. Individual problems are often worth, in total, around 10 points each, whereas team problems are each worth around 50 points in total. <br />
<br />
Each problem should go in its own separate TeX file, which should contain no headers and should be formatted like the following example: <br />
<br />
template_problem.tex: <br />
<nowiki><br />
\Pnum[Problem Name]<br />
<br />
Explanation of the problem's mathematics and story. <br />
<br />
\pnum<br />
<br />
Part 1 of the problem. Include some introduction text here<br />
<br />
\qnum[1] Part 1 question 1. How many kilometres in a metre?<br />
\answerbox[km]<br />
<br />
\qnum[1] Part 1 question 2. 1+1<br />
\answerbox[]<br />
<br />
\qnum[2] Part 1 question 3<br />
\answerbox[units]<br />
<br />
\pnum<br />
<br />
Part 2 introduction<br />
<br />
\qnum[2] Part 2 question 1<br />
\answerbox[mile(s)]<br />
<br />
\qnum[4] Part 2 question 2<br />
\answerbox[hour(s)]<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
As seen in this example, when you want a box at the end of a question for the students to write the answers into, use the \answerbox macro or the \answerboxn macro, depending on whether you want an extra newline after the answerbox. The answerbox macros take an argument which allows you to put some text at the right side of the answerbox, e.g. to specify the units expected for the answer. <br />
<br />
The qnum macro also takes an argument, specifying how many points the particular question is worth. <br />
<br />
The above will not compile on its own, as it is not a complete document. Rather, there is one master file that defines all these macros and includes each of the individual problem files, which looks like the following: <br />
<br />
template_all.tex: <br />
<nowiki><br />
\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}<br />

<br />
So if you put your problem in a folder called P/ and call the tex file my_problem.tex, then you add a line to the body of all.tex like <br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
\include{P/myproblem}</nowiki><br />
<br />
Inside my_problem.tex, if you include any files (e.g. images), you should specify the full path like <br />
<br />
<nowiki><br />
\includegraphics{P/my_image.eps}</nowiki><br />
<br />
== Logistics ==<br />
<br />
===Trophies===<br />
We order trophies from Dinn Bros. Inc., and tend to order 8 medals each for the 1st-3rd place teams, a trophy each for those teams, and trophies for the 1st-3rd place individual. If you can get an order number from the previous year and call them, they have been willing to simply update the year on the engravings and reorder, which saves a lot of time.<br />
<br />
===T-shirts===<br />
We order T-shirts from Sports Products Mfg. Inc. in Fitchburg. They also have our orders on file, including the Bucky MMM graphic, and can easily reuse it and update the year. We tend to order some combination of Badger color shirts and ink: shirts in white, grey, red or black with contrasting ink. The colored shirts are more expensive and we order those only every few years. We need shirts for all the students plus 2 per team for the chaperones, and a few extras. Since there are usually 20 teams we usually order 240 shirts.<br />
<br />
===Time and Place===<br />
The meet is usually held on a Thursday in late May, on the week in between spring finals and the first summer session. We need to reserve in advance a big lecture hall (we've used B102) as well as about 10 or 12 smaller rooms (we've gotten them on the B1 and 2 levels, and we need one room for every two teams). Joan Wendt has helped us reserve them in the past and may be able just ask for the same rooms as were used the previous year. We have used the Mathlab for grading. We have never had an issue with this, but it is probably a good idea to ask around and make sure it is free.<br />
<br />
The event typically starts around 9, with the teams arriving starting at 8:30. They register, pick up their t-shirts (bagged and labeled in advance) and go to their small room to drop off snacks, jackets, etc. before settling in the lecture hall. The hall should be prepared with row signs showing where each team should sit (with two chaperones each). You should also post signs on all entrances of VV telling the teams where to go in the building. Get the "sign files" from last year to help you out.<br />
<br />
We need access to the projector in the lecture hall (typically B102). Check in advance to make sure you do; you might have to call a week or two in advance for an access code. Throughout the event, we use a powerpoint for the mental math problems, to introduce each problem and go over an easy example, and play charades (below). Get the previous years' powerpoint to save a ton of time and to see how the mental math is formulated.<br />
<br />
Try to be done by noon for the sake of the kids getting lunch and then back to school; this means the awards are usually given out at 11:30 or so. The problems are being graded as soon as they're completed, which means that after the final team problem there are a few minutes before we can present awards. In the past we have had the teachers come up front, split into two teams, and play "math charades" with each other. The kids just watch (not guess) to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is generally hilarious and the kids love it.<br />
<br />
The department likes to have pictures of the event, and especially the awards ceremony. Ask around to see who is willing to take pictures, and generally the webmaster will want access to them. Be sure to pass out the folders to the teams after awards and as everyone is filing out; just ask a chaperone to come get them.<br />
<br />
===Graders===<br />
We need a lot of help in grading the problems as they come in, so that we can be done by noon. We generally bribe graduate students and undergrad math students, etc. by offering them pizza (see below). Send out an email with some advanced notice and be sure you have enough help, generally at least one person per team. There is a grading spreadsheet we have used to help tally the scores. <br />
<br />
We also give to the teachers of the teams a packet with: a blank copy of all the problems, their students' work from that day, and a copy of the solutions. It helps to have the person grading a team compile this, and to have the folders available and labeled in advance, etc.<br />
<br />
===Pizza===<br />
<br />
For the event, we order pizza for the contestants from [pizza place]. It is polite to apprise them of the order a day in advance.<br />
<br />

<br />
As seen in this example, when you want a box at the end of a question for the students to write the answers into, use the \answerbox macro or the \answerboxn macro, depending on whether you want an extra newline after the answerbox. The answerbox macros take an argument which allows you to put some text at the right side of the answerbox, e.g. to specify the units expected for the answer. <br />
<br />
The qnum macro also takes an argument, specifying how many points the particular question is worth. These files will be included in one master file that defines all these macros, the current edition of which looks like this<br />

== Structure of Course ==<br />
Our reading group will meet three times a week. A new discussion leader will lead our meetings each Wednesday, Friday, and Monday. The monday meetings will culminate with a visit from [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~ellenber Jordan], [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~brownda David] or [http://www.math.wisc.edu/~andreic Andrei] to answer that week's questions, provide feedback, and so on.<br />
<br />
== Homework ==<br />
Doing exercises is very important in mastering this material. Ravi's notes contain many, many exercises. It's up to you to choose which problems to hand in. Ravi suggests that you choose a varied selection of problems that are personally interesting to you. You should hand in '''6 written up exercises''' each Wednesday, starting September 8th. LaTeX'ing your solution is '''strongly''' recommended. Ask another grad student if you need help learning TeX.<br />
<br />
We'll collect homework at our meeting, and distribute it to the grader. In fairness to our grader, no late homework will be accepted.<br />
<br />
I encourage you to '''work together'''. You can email [mailto:agrc@math.wisc.edu agrc@math.wisc.edu] to contact the whole reading group to schedule problem solving sessions/ask questions/etc.<br />
<br />
== Responsibilities of Discussion Leaders ==<br />
Discussion leaders are responsible for leading a full week of seminars, Wednesdays through Monday. <br />
<br />
'''In the week before you are a DL''':<br />
# Check Ravi's [http://math216.wordpress.com blog]. Remember that notes are posted every two weeks. Get a feel for what we should be discussing during your week. Are we starting a new set of notes? Are we finishing the previous set?<br />
# Get comfortable with editing this wiki. Create the page for your week. The discussion leader is responsible for posting our comments, questions, and other thoughts in the wiki. Ask Lalit or David for help. Some formatting help is available [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting here]<br />
# Decide which sections we should read by the Wednesday, Friday, and Monday of your week. Note: We want to cover '''all''' sections that Ravi recommends. For example, if he says skip 2.7 Spectral Sequences, we should. Otherwise nothing should be left out. <br />
# '''Important:''' Email this schedule to reading group no later than '''Friday''' the week before you take over.<br />
<br />
'''During your week''':<br />
# Be ready to lead the class in a discussion of the material. How you want this to look is up to you. It is not necessary to lecture, and do not feel the need to present the material (everybody should have read the same thing you have read). On the other hand, you should plan to talk about each section of the notes. Discuss the nuances and the big picture ideas '''or''' ask what the big picture is. Tell us what you got stuck on. It's not necessary to have mastered the material, just to have some starting points for discussion. <br />
# Each day you lead discussion, set aside some time for talking about the exercises that appear.<br />
# Make an effort to include everyone in the discussion. What is easy for you may not be easy for someone else. You might have learned tensor products in 3rd grade, but another student may be lost.<br />
# '''Important''': Every day we meet, keep a list of what we thought was easy, tricky and what specific questions we have. This will form a starting point for what we want to discuss with faculty. Look at previous discussion pages for examples of the type of questions & comments to keep track of.<br />
# After each meeting post these questions & comments to the wiki.<br />
# '''Very important''': On the '''Friday''' of your week, email our faculty sponsors with the list of questions/thoughts/ruminations from the week (or just a link to the wiki page you created). The faculty need this information on Friday, so that the following Monday they're prepared to meet with us.<br />
