The Mathematics of Klee & Grunbaum: 100 Years in Seattle

在维克多·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学与离散几何和其他数学分支之间令人惊讶和强大的联系。这次会议旨在回顾这些发展，并为年轻一代提供教育机会，让他们了解获奖者的广泛贡献。会议的第二个重要组成部分将是三天的三个1-2小时的问题讨论会，讨论Klee和Grunbaum工作中出现的开放性问题。维克多·克利（Victor Klee）和布兰科·格伦鲍姆（Branko Grunbaum）创立了现代组合学和离散几何的几个分支，并在西雅图的华盛顿大学度过了漫长的职业生涯（两人总共度过了100年）。他们的贡献也对一些与数学相关的领域产生了影响，比如最优化、计算机科学、统计学和生命科学。这次会议旨在成为这些数学巨人辉煌事业的世界级庆典。

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.
