Book Description
Flavors of Geometry is a volume of lectures on four geometrically influenced fields of mathematics that have experienced great development in recent years. The book presents chapters by well-known researchers on hyperbolic geometry, dynamics in several complex variables, convex geometry, and volume estimation. Each lecture begins with a discussion of elementary concepts, examines the highlights of the field, and concludes with a look at more advanced material. These lectures are an excellent starting place for graduate students and will also interest researchers wanting a "flavor" of new developments in geometry.
