P for Poles, Polars and Projective
STCS Student Seminar
Speaker:
Ashwin Deopurkar (School of Mathematics
TIFR, Mumbai-05)
Organiser:
Prerona Chatterjee
Date:
Friday, 11 May 2018, 17:15 to 18:15
Venue:
A-201 (STCS Seminar Room)

Abstract:
This would be an elementary and concrete introduction to classical projective geometry. We'd start with Euclidean geometry of points, lines and circles. The underlying theme of the talk would be the theory of poles and polars which is a duality between lines and points in a projective plane.
