Silly examples and corny food guaranteed. No specific background needed but statistics and linear algebra might be useful. This is the most general art gallery problem. It and some of its many variations, including orthogonal polygons, exterior visibility, and the difficulty of generalizing into three dimensions, will be explored in this talk. Comps talks are fun.
Databases are fun.
My talk will focus on cyclic codes. In particular, I will discuss the Hamming codes and demonstrate how they work. No math beyond high school is necessary, but linear algebra would be helpful. So you've just created an absolute masterpiece that would make Picasso blush, and you wish to sell it on your website. After months of sales, you start to see a decline in revenue.
