Groebner Bases, Algebraic Computing, and Combinatorics
Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar| Speaker: | Mohamed Omar, UC Davis |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, Apr 21 2011, 11:00AM |
We present Groebner bases as foundational tools for solving systems of polynomial equations. We then present the relationship between Groebner bases and the combinatorics of triangulations of polytopes. This talk will be an outline of the book "Groebner Bases on Convex Polytopes" by Bernd Sturmfels.
