A Brief Overview of Triangulating Polytopes
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Kevin Hartshorn, UC Davis |
| Location: | 593 Kerr |
| Start time: | Wed, Nov 14 2001, 12:00PM |
I will offer a look at some of the topics and questions that have sparked my interest in polytopes and discrete geometry - starting with three dimensional "alpha shapes." I hope to say words to the effect of "regular triangulation" and "cyclic polytope." Definitely aimed at the non-specialist, this talk will indicate just a few of the questions still open in this field.
