DESCRIPTION:The Mathematics & Statistics Graduate Student Seminar will conv
 ene again this week at 1:00pm on Friday\, March 1\, in the Main Lounge (Bu
 rnside 1025). As usual\, there will be pizza.\n\n \n\nThis week\, James Ri
 ckards will talk about combinatorial geometry:\n\n \n\nIn classical Euclid
 ean geometry\, there are a lot of facts and techniques needed to solve pro
 blems: incentres\, excentres\, tangent lines\, concurrency theorems\, etc.
  However\, to solve combinatorial geometry problems\, one typically needs 
 only a very small geometric insight: for example the triangle inequality\,
  or the area of a triangle. The main and most difficult ingredient in proo
 fs is the combinatorial insight required. In this talk\, I will go through
  some very useful techniques\, apply them to several interesting examples\
 , and mention a few open problems in the area. Bonus points if you can fig
 ure out the four problems (and their solutions!) in the talk picture (the 
 colours are important).  \n\n \n\nSee you all there!\n\n \n\nAll graduate 
 students are invited. As with all talks in the graduate student seminar\, 
 this talk will be accessible to all graduate students in math and stats. T
 his seminar was made possible by funding from the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Mathematics and S
 tatistics Department and PGSS.\n
