“Generalized Geometry: An Introduction”

The study of both symplectic and complex geometry began hundreds of years ago, and have impacted many areas of mathematics and physics. Generalized complex geometry is a relatively new area of mathematics that encompasses both symplectic and complex geometry. In this talk we will examine some background of these areas and look at the structures on vector spaces and how they relate to each other.
