This week, the Math/Stats Colloquium is excited to have Frank Sottile (Texas A&M) showing us “Some algebraic geometry in applications”. Algebraic geometry is the study of sets that arise as the common zeroes to a collection of polynomials. It is a deep and powerful subject, combining geometric intuition with algebraic precision. It is also increasingly a useful tool in applications of mathematics, for whenever polynomials arise, the methods of algebraic geometry may be brought to bear on the problem at hand. This talk will illustrate this growing trend through a series of interrelated examples of algebraic geometry arising in applications.
Background: A first course in linear algebra.
