Events

Within CCDG we host two major formats of events:

  • weekly CCDG Seminars, and
  • monthly Fejes Toth Lecture series.
In addition, here you can find out about the talks given by CCDG members outside of our center.

Speaker: 
Dr. T. Hausel, Royal Society University Research Fellow, Univsersity of Oxford, UK
Location: 
MS 427

In discrete geometry one often studies the geometry of discrete objects like lattices in Euclidean space to gain information on the latter. This kind of study has historical connections to number theory and physics...
