A Brief Overview of Triangulating Polytopes
Student-Run Research| Speaker: | Kevin Hartshorn, UC Davis |

Description
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.
