Inhalt:
In this seminar we will explore advanced notions and constructions from discrete geometry. In particular, we will explore connections to other areas. Students should have a good background in discrete geometry or discrete mathematics (such as 'Discrete Geometry I' or 'Discrete Mathematics I').
