[edit source]Aims and outputs
[edit source]The aims are to learn more about aspects of CFT that are not dealt with in detail in the course, and to share what is learned with fellow students and the wider world. Possible outputs include:
- A written report (5-10 pages).
- An oral presentation to the class (10 minutes).
- Contributions to Wikipedia.
Guidelines
[edit source]- The outputs can be in English or in French.
- Projects can be done in teams or individually.
- In a report, there should be a table of contents, all equations should be numbered, references should be cited from the text and not just listed at the end.
