Links with Advice on How to Give a Talk in Mathematics: |
|
· http://www.jcu.edu/math/constum/gallian.pdf - This is a short note by Joe Gallian, the current President of the MAA, on how to give a good talk. It is the current “bible” of giving mathematical presentations, and only at your own risk do you ignore Professor Gallian's advice. · http://www.ams.org/notices/200709/tx070901136p.pdf - This is a link to an AMS piece published after the death of the famous mathematician Paul Halmos (1916-2006). Titled ``In His Own Words,'' the article is a sequence of excerpts of Halmos's writings on how write and talk mathematics. The section on ``How to Talk Mathematics,'' which was first published in the Notices of the AMS in 1974, is a classic. · http://www.math.vt.edu/people/day/advice/YMN3_4.html - Here is another outline of how to give a mathematical, by John McCarthy of Washington University in Saint Louis. As with some of the other references below, it is targeted at faculty and graduate students, but the advice on how to give a great talk is the same. · http://csmr.ca.sandia.gov/~tgkolda/abstracts/giving-a-talk-snl-2001.html - This was designed for graduate students, but, again, the advice focuses on giving a mathematical talk and is mostly appropriate for undergraduate students as well. Notice the focus here also on telling the story (what Tamara Kolda calls “the message”). · http://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.141/spring2006/pub/debates/Giving-A-Talk.html - This site gives good advice on public speaking in a technical setting. · http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/agu/scientific_talk.html - Another good site with excellent advice on crafting the story and the mechanics of presenting. The author also draws some contrasts between how talks are given in the sciences and how they are given in other fields (like literature). · http://blog.richmond.edu/wross/2008/03/26/how-to-give-a-good-20-minute-math-talk/ - A pretty concise description of how to give a short presentation (20 minutes). It has good advice, as well as some other links. |
