Abstract of the talk
This talk is meant as a gentle introduction to Hyperbolic Geometry. The purpose of this talk is to introduce students to the hyperbolic plane and (hopefully) pique their curiosity! This rich subject has been, and continues to be, an active area of research with many interesting problems and connections to other branches of mathematics.The talk will be light on details and technicalities.
