A “preliminary final” script has been uploaded … any comments, corrections etc. are very welcome.

There is a mistake in 9.1: it should read Prove the existence of a point x s.t. ….
i.e. without the restriction x in A.

The class next Tuesday, 13/12/2017, is canceled.

Chapter 2 “A rough guide to polytopes” has been uploaded
with a “corrected version” of Theorem 2.11 ii) (statement adjusted) & iii) (proof adjusted)-
sorry for the mess.

Because of the BMS 10th Anniversary (see https://www.math-berlin.de/academics/bms-10-anniversary — highly recommended) the class on Thursday morning is canceled — sorry!!

In the future, the links on the right hand side will point to the latest versions of the/a script and sheet of exercises.

The exercises classes beginn Fridays at 12:00 (sharp); the first one next Friday, i.e., 28.10, and
here is the first sheet with exercises uebung_convexgeometry_i_ws16.
Starting with next week, the lecture on Thursday will take place in MA 143.

Vorlesungsbeginn ist Dienstag, 18.10.2016, 14:15, in MA 750.

Übungsbeginn ist Freitag, 28.10.2016, 12:15, in MA 750.
