The Mathematics of Klee & Grunbaum: 100 Years in Seattle

维克托克利和布兰科·格伦鲍姆的研究中一个不变的主题是发现和发展组合数学与离散几何和其他数学分支之间令人惊讶的强大联系。 这次会议的目的是回顾这些发展，并为年轻一代提供教育机会，他们将接触到获奖者广泛贡献的调查。会议的第二个重要组成部分将是三个1-2小时长的问题会议，通过三天的时间，将讨论开放的问题所产生的工作克利和格伦鲍姆。维克托克利和布兰科格伦鲍姆成立了几个分支的现代组合数学和离散几何和度过了漫长的职业生涯（共100年之间）在华盛顿大学在西雅图。 他们的贡献也影响了与数学有关的几个领域，如优化，计算机科学，统计学和生命科学。这次会议的目的是成为一个世界级的庆祝活动的杰出职业生涯的这些数学巨人。

A constant theme in the research of Victor Klee and Branko Grunbaum has been the discovery and development of surprising and powerful connections between combinatorics and discrete geometry and other branches of mathematics. This conference is aimed to be both a retrospective on these developments and an educational opportunity for the younger generation who will be exposed to a survey of the wide-spread contributions of the honorees. A second important component of the conference will be three 1-2 hour long problem sessions spread through the three days that will discuss open problems arising from the work of Klee and Grunbaum.Victor Klee and Branko Grunbaum founded several branches of modern combinatorics and discrete geometry and spent their long careers (a total of 100 years between them) at the University of Washington in Seattle. Their contributions has also made an impact on several areas connected to mathematics such as optimization, computer science, statistics, and the life sciences. This conference is intended to be a world class celebration of the illustrious careers of these mathematical giants.
