Title: An Introduction to Semidefinite Programming

This talk is an introduction to a relatively new area of optimization,
semidefinite programming.  I will introduce the semidefinite
programming problem, explain how a number of interesting problems can
be formulated as semidefinite programming problems, and discuss
interior point methods for the solution of these problems.
