We will discuss the construction of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric varieties and the mirror symmetry found by Batyrev and Borisov between dual complete intersections. If there is time, we will discuss related mirror symmetric results and constructions.

We are about a 15 minute walk from the main 30th Street Station and 5 minutes from the University City Rail Station at 32nd and Spruce (=South Street & Convention Avenue). Coming from the airport by train (about 15 minutes): the University City Rail Station is the second stop after you leave the airport.
