Geometry: Combinatorics and Algorithms
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:55:01
Abstract
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.

Seminars (This semester, many seminars have a waiting list with special selection procedure. If no other criteria apply, a definitive registration will be granted first of all to students who haven't got another seminar registration. Here is the best procedure for dealing with two waiting lists: first choose your preferred seminar and a few minutes later choose an alternative seminar. IMPORTANT: Do not waitlist yourself for more than two seminars!)
