Pieces of an ENIGMA machine, from Flickr
Assume you have a set of alumni, which are due an individual programming assignment. All have the same assignment (as it is hard to come up with several), and it is hard enough that copying from each other passes for everyone’s mind. As a teacher, how do you detect this?
From my point of view, there are fundamentally two different kinds of copy:
Does not like like that, but tastes great!
2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons vanilla (or vanillated sugar)
3/4 cup agave syrup (or sugar syrup)
1/2 cup lime juice
1/8 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup coconut butter (or coconut oil)
pie crust (below a recipe for it)
Mix all the ingredients (except the pie crust) in a blender.
As you may remember, I spent quite some time this August with Lavaurs algorithm for the topological identification of the circle corresponding to the Mandelbrot set. After that, I spent quite some more trying to do pictures of external rays to show side by side. I was not able… and then found Mandel.
Thanks to Mandel, LISP and my Lavaurs code
Really nice program, with lots and lots of options (and I met the programmer, which happens to be also mathematician, we met at a conference).
As you may already know, I presented a poster at a conference recently, and did the set up with Scribus, the texts with LaTeX with the Beamer and Beamerposter packages.
Setting up
Note from 2019: I can’t find the final version of that poster, only a modified version from a few months later for another conference.
The first piece of advise, is to set page guides where needed (in the Page menu, you can put them at a certain numerical place, and then move them along) and then Snap to guides in the same menu.

The concepts of “future”, “job stability” or even “location” are quite fuzzy when in Mathematics. I think I don’t know any PhD student who knows what he will be doing in 3 years, what he will be working on (not what he will be researching, but working…) or even where he will be.
1-2 years of Master+Master thesis
2-6 years of PhD thesis (3-4 years PhD grant+maybe some associated professor, 1-4 years)
København, Denmark
