Minisymposia Discrete Geometry and Discrete Topology

im Rahmen der Jahrestagung der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung 2010 in München.

Abstract: Discrete Geometry and Discrete Topology are closely linked, younger mathematical disciplines with numereous applications within and outside mathematics. Both subjects are connected to topics in computer science and mathematical optimization, but also bear many fascinating problems themselves. Our Minisymposia shall shed some light on current developments, in particular within Germany. They offer a platform to meet and share ideas with active (experienced and junior) researchers in both fields.
