The talk is aimed at students and beginners who are une ncumbered by the wisdom of experts and others tragically burdened by knowi ng too much. Being a novice\, any help from the audience in generating new questions will be graciously accepted.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/NYC-NCG/13/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
