Workshop: How to Guard an Art Gallery

Abstract: How many guards would we need to protect an art gallery, and where should they be placed? By encoding the situation with points, lines, and shapes, these and many other questions can be rephrased in terms of graph theory and geometry. We will explore the ideas behind these two subjects and the interplay between them in order to approach and solve real-world problems.
