Form Pi = 4*(1-1/3+1/5-1/7+-...) Re: Passage of Comprehensive Exam Once a student forms a phd supervisory committee, most matters concerning a student are dealt with by the student's supervisor. This form is meant to help the Graduate Committee Chair stay apprised of a student's progress. To the advisor: Please fill out whichever parts of this form are appropriate after the student's Supervisory Committee meets. Return or email the form to the Graduate Committee Chair (gc@math.unl.edu), with a copy to the student. Return an updated copy of Form Pi whenever there is a change in the information it collects. The requisite meetings of the Supervisory Committee can be by e-mail or telephone, but all members should be polled. (For emailed copies of the form, the advisor's name may be entered where a signature is requested; the signature will then be imputed if the form originates from the advisor's account.) ***************************************************************************** Student's name:_________________________________________________ ***************************************************************************** Part A.
