Species of Trees

Abstract

Mathematicians and computer scientists both enjoy trees very much. I know I certainly do, and I wish to share my enthusiasm. This talk will be a theory-light tour of various interesting phenomena relating to species of trees. We will discuss what makes a species, what makes a tree, and look at a range of particularly interesting examples of species of trees. In the interest of managing expectations: you're not likely to learn all that much about combinatorial species from this talk. It's more of an excuse to have a fun and relaxed time exploring ways trees can occur 'in the wild'.
