- Abstract:
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of a convex polygon - one where all interior angle are less than 180 degrees. The applet shows an irregular convex polygon initially. The user can drag any vertex, change the number of sides in the range 3..99, and make it regular or irregular. When the polygon is convex, the polygon is so flagged. It is shown that regular polygons are always convex. The goal is to show through experimentation what the concept of convexity really means. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

- Abstract:
Doctoral student seminar covering current topics related to operations research not otherwise included in the curriculum. In keeping with the tradition of the last twenty-some years, the Readings in Optimization seminar will focus on an advanced topic of interest to a portion of the MIT optimization community: randomized methods for deterministic optimization. In contrast to conventional optimization algorithms whose iterates are computed and analyzed deterministically, randomized methods rely on stochastic processes and random number/vector generation as part of the algorithm and/or its analysis. In the seminar, we will study some very recent papers on this topic, many by MIT faculty, as well as some older papers from the existing literature that are only now receiving attention.
