| Kurzbeschreibung | This seminar complements the course Geometry: Combinatorics & Algorithms. Students of the seminar will present original research papers, some classic and some of them very recent. | ||||
| Lernziel | Each student is expected to read, understand, and elaborate on a selected research paper. To this end, (s)he should give a 45-min. presentation about the paper.

| Inhalt | This seminar is held once a year and complements the course Geometry: Combinatorics & Algorithms. Students of the seminar will present original research papers, some classic and some of them very recent. The seminar is a good preparation for a master, diploma, or semester thesis in the area. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Prerequisite: Successful participation in the course "Geometry: Combinatorics & Algorithms" (takes place every HS) is required. | ||||
