The reading group meets every Tuesday at 1:00 pm in ECSN 4.618 to discuss a topic related to the book being studied. One member of the lab presents the topic, which is generally a chapter in the book, but can be other relevant material. The format is less formal and more discussion-oriented than for the Seminar.
Vitali Loseu is in charge of organizing the reading group.
We are currently studying Network Flows: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications Ravindra K. Ahuja, Thomas L. Magnanti, James B. Orlin.
