DESCRIPTION:To any smooth\, compact curve over a field\, we may associate 
 its Jacobian. It is a smooth and compact group variety\, which "depends co
 ntinuously on the curve"\, and a very important object in AG/number theory
 . Limits of smooth curves are not always smooth: they may be nodal\, i.e. 
 have some points at which they look  like two lines intersecting transvers
 ally. We will talk about how to get Jacobians for  nodal curves which are 
 "almost as nice" as those of smooth curves.
