Description:

The DocCourse is an advanced training activity aimed at young researchers.
It spans three months with two main Intensive Courses and several Thematic Seminars. During the period of the program the participants will undertake a Research Project under the supervision of a local adviser.

The course aims at giving a broad and up-to-date panorama of contemporary research in Discrete and Computational Geometry, a very active field combining topics and tools from geometry, combinatorics, and computer science, and having fruitful connections to algebra, topology, algebraic geometry, probability, and analysis. The topics covered in the course include: convex polytopes, metric spaces, geometric probability, combinatorial geometry, geometric algorithms, convex geometry, geometric graph theory, lattice points, and algebraic and topological methods.
Intensive Courses: February 2 to 13, 2009

Jiri Matousek, Charles University, Prague

Metric Embeddings

 

February 16 to 27, 2009

Günter Ziegler, Technical University, Berlin

Convex Polytopes: Examples and Conjectures
Thematic Seminars:

General schedule: January 13: Presentation of the research projects and welcome.

February: Intensive courses.

January 21 to March 18: A weekly seminar every Wednesday.

March 23 and 24: Student presentations
