Each title in the list below is followed by one or more of the letters: E, I, A.
These letters are intended to denote the level of training
necessary to follow the lecture and the level of sophistication
necessary to find the lecture of interest.
The levels are:
- E-Elementary: intended for college students who are interested in
mathematics, and for educated laymen in the general public. No
college level training in mathematics is assumed.
- I-Intermediate: intended for students who have completed a year
of calculus or other mathematics at a similar level.
- A-Advanced: intended for junior and senior mathematics majors.
The presence of more than one letter indicates that the lecturer is
prepared to present the topic at any one of the levels indicated.
Some of the visiting lecturers have indicated that their institutions
may be able to help with travel expenses. Those lecturers are
indicated in the listing by an asterisk.
