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

Last weekend I attended a conference in Denmark, and a colleague I met there showed me the logo of his University. It is supposed to be a coral… but he said in every party they turn it 270º, so it is the “angry elk”.

Conference for 4 days in an old army place. Really nice, well kept and bought by the university. But away from everything, and everyone. And today my head hurts a lot… Maybe I should go to sleep now (2332). Tomorrow I have a really tight schedule… lot of work to do… And I’m feeling tired.
