Course Information
Description
This seminar is intended for Master’s students in Mathematics and Scientific Computing. We are planning to discuss the lecture notes by Keenan Crane on a course on discrete differential geometry. The course also has video lecture notes which covers more material and can be consulted as a secondary source.

Presentations and Grading
In each meeting, we will cover one of the above topics in a 45-minute presentation, followed by a discussion and questions. The presentation should be in English. Your grade will be based on your presentation and on the subsequent discussion and questions session.
Dates and Timeline
We meet Wednesdays at 14:15, starting April 26, 2023, generally in seminar room 10 (5th floor). As an exception, just on April 26, we will be in meeting room 2/414 (2nd floor).
