Title: The Convex Hull of Two Circles in R3
Speaker: Evan Nash
Abstract: This is an algebraic geometry talk, but it is a somewhat unorthodox algebraic geometry talk in that not only do you recognize all the words in the title, but they mean exactly what you think they do. We're really going to be looking at two circles in 3-space and trying to describe the properties of their convex hull. On the way, we'll get a glimpse at some of the algebraic geometry machinery we use to get a perspective on this question. There will be many pretty pictures.
