Abstract: In the morning background talk (10am in Park 337), I will provide an introduction to symplectic embeddings. I will explain the background to the symplectic embedding problem and some basic results about embedding four dimensional ellipsoids.

In the afternoon research talk (2:30pm in Park 300), I will discuss calculations of the embedding capacity function for ellipsoids into balls and related target spaces.
