How to give a talk

Sep 04 2025, 01:08

I was recently reminded of an old answer I posted on Math.SE with advice on how to give a talk. I wrote that answer in 2012 when I was only finishing my masters, and while I had given a couple of seminar talks by that points, it's 13 years later and I look at this post and it looks like the advice a toddler gives an infant.

And so, now, with much more experience, I figured that it's a good time to revisit that piece of advice. And let me begin by saying that the advice that you can find in that answer is absolutely great, it is still valid, and even now after all my experience, it is still a good fundamental starting point.
