Title: Geometreks
Speaker: Ivars Peterson, MAA Director of Publications and Communications
Thursday, February 24, 2011

O'Connor 206
Abstract: Few people expect to encounter mathematics on a visit to an art gallery or even a walk down a city street (or across campus). When we explore the world around us with mathematics in mind, however, we see the many ways in which mathematics can manifest itself, in streetscapes, sculptures, paintings, architectural structures, and more. This illustrated presentation offers illuminating glimpses of mathematics, from Euclidean geometry and normal distributions to Riemann sums and Moebius strips, as seen in a variety of structures and artworks in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Toronto, New Orleans, and many other locales.

Title: Discrete Volume Computations for Polytopes: An Invitation to Ehrhart Theory
Speaker: Matthias Beck, San Francisco State University
22nd February 2011, Tuesday
3:50 pm
O'Connor 207
Abstract: Our goal is to compute the volume of certain easy (and fun!) geometric objects, called polytopes, which are fundamental in many areas of mathematics. Although polytopes have an easy description, e.g., using a linear system of equalities and inequalities, volume computation is hard even for these basic objects. Our approach is to compute the discrete volume of a polytope P, namely, the number of grid points that lie inside P, given a fixed grid in Euclidean space such as the set of all integer points. A theory initiated by Ehrhart implies that the discrete volume of a polytope has some remarkable properties. We will exemplify Ehrhart theory with the help of several families of polytopes whose discrete volumes are connected with some of our friends in various mathematical areas, such as binomial coefficients, Eulerian, Stirling, and Bernoulli numbers.
This talk will be accessible to anybody who has finished the basic calculus and linear algebra courses. In particular, we will not assume that the audience knows the terms mentioned in this abstract, such as the concept of a polytope.
