tuesday: i don't often say this, but i have a good feeling about this talk. it might even be fun!
wednesday afternoon: ye gods. this is the analysιs seminar, right? it looks like the audience for a colloquium. i've seen entire maths departments that are smaller than this ..
.. oh well: here goes nothing ..!
wednesday evening: well, maybe 4 pages per hour [1] was a bit ambitious, especially for a chalkboard talk. it was only after writing out the maths in chalk that i realised how technical the discussion really was.
still, i think that the talk was received well, and colleagues of mine had good things to say about the result.
when i was younger, i used to be deathly nervous of questions. ultimately, i realised: if people are asking questions, then it means that they are listening, even willing to understand.
so questions are a good sign, after all. besides, if you can't address the questions of the audience, then you probably didn't prepare enough for it ..
.. so: fair's fair. i've had my share of that. q-:
