Title: Tangent Lines and the equation 28 = 7 × 4
Speaker: Yoav Len Affiliation: University of Waterloo Room: MC 5501Abstract:
I will discuss combinatorial aspects of tangent lines to curves and planar graphs. In algebraic geometry, every smooth plane curve has finitely many lines that are tangent to it at two separate points.
