Topology, geometry and dynamics.

January 25- January 29 2016, Institut de Recherche de Mathématique Avancée, Strasbourg

Aims and Scopes

The master classes are aimed at introducing (under)-graduate students to current research area in mathematics. The program is oriented to students that start or finish their master degree as well as to Ph.D. students. For previous master classes held in Strasbourg, see here.

The aim of this master class is to introduce to some modern aspect of a classical subject : Crystallographic Groups. To avoid complications, the lecture will focus on examples and graphical illustrations, especially in dimension 2 and 3. A program is detailed here.
