Student Combinatorics Seminar

Effective resistance, spanning trees, and series-parallel networks
Monday, November 18, 2019
3:00-4:00 PM
3096 East Hall Map
In high school, you probably learned formulas for the effective resistance when combining resistors in series or in parallel. What you probably didn't learn in high school is that there is a great combinatorial formula for calculating effective resistance for an arbitrarily complicated resistor network. We will discuss this formula and some applications to tropical geometry. Speaker(s): Harry Richman (UM)
