- Abstract:
In this talk, I will go over some convex discrete geometry, specifically Radon's Theorem and some similar-ish statements. We will first use some linear algebra to prove the theorem(s) and then look at them from a probabilistic perspective. Specifically, we will look at Sylvester's four point problem. This talk will be almost entirely expository.
