  • Time: 15:00
Lecturer(s):
Lon Rosen, UBC
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

A Class of Polytopes with a Remarkable Volume Formula

Description: 

We introduce a class of polytopes which we call endoskeletal. The structure of an endoskeletal polytope is determined by its internal skeleton and its volume is given by a strikingly simple formula involving a single determinant. A rudimentary knowledge of undergraduate mathematics is necessary and sufficient for understanding this talk.
