Colloquium: Interpolation problems for curves

Speaker: Isabel Vogt, Brown University

Abstract: The interpolation problem is one of the oldest in mathematics.  In its most broad form it asks: when can a curve of a given type be passed through a given number of points?  I'll survey work on the interpolation problem from Euclid to the modern day, ending with recent joint work of mine with Eric Larson.
