Title: Real Algebraic Geometry
Abstract: This talk will be a survey of a hierarchy of classes of real polynomials. Along the way, we'll investigate the underlying geometry and see some surprising connections to combinatorial objects. We'll start from real-rooted univariate polynomials, then make our way through real stable polynomials to Lorentzian and log-concave polynomials, building more evidence along the way that all math is secretly linear algebra.
