This is an online club held every Thursday 4:15pm-5:15pm on teams. Contact: george.papadopoulos@kcl.ac.uk

With a view towards constructing Calabi-Yau manifolds, we present some rudiments of the intersection between algebraic, differential and arithmetic geometry. Throughout we will take the opposite of the Bourbaki approach and work through explicit examples, rather than to emphasise on the theory.
