Contents
The module comprises of two parts. The first part is a general introduction to convex geometry, where basic concepts and tools will be introduced, such as separation and the classical results of Carathéodory, Helly and Radon. The second part will be more specialized, focusing on ellipsoids, including ellipsoidal approximation and volume concentration. Applications in optimization and data science will be highlighted throughout.
