This seminar complements the course Geometry: Combinatorics & Algorithms. Students of the seminar will present original research papers, some classic and some of them very recent.
Objective
Each student is expected to read, understand, and elaborate on a selected research paper. To this end, (s)he should give a 45-min. presentation about the paper. The process includes
* getting an overview of the related literature; * understanding and working out the background/motivation: why and where are the questions addressed relevant? * understanding the contents of the paper in all details; * selecting parts suitable for the presentation; * presenting the selected parts in such a way that an audience with some basic background in geometry and graph theory can easily understand and appreciate it.
Content
This seminar is held once a year and complements the course Geometry: Combinatorics & Algorithms. Students of the seminar will present original research papers, some classic and some of them very recent. The seminar is a good preparation for a master, diploma, or semester thesis in the area.
Prerequisites / Notice
Prerequisite: Successful participation in the course "Geometry: Combinatorics & Algorithms" (takes place every HS) is required.
