Title : Coarse geometry and Curvature : A glimpse into the work of Mikhail
Gromov.


Abstract:
      Coarse Geometry is the study of geometry `seen from far away'.
We will explain what coarse geometry is as well as classical and
coarse notions of curvature. We also discuss related geometric notions
of approximating by finite sets and taking limits of metric spaces.
        This lecture will be informal and accessible. Only a basic
knowledge of Calculus is assumed (even that in only part of the talk).
