The Erdos Distinct Distance Problem with Dr. Eyvindur Palsson

 One of Erdos' greatest contributions to geometry was his problem on distinct distances that asks: what is the least number of distinct distances among N points in the plane. This seemingly innocent question spurred a lot of other related questions, many of which are still being worked on today. In this talk we will start with an introduction to the original distinct distance problem and then move on to some related questions, some of which I have worked on with undergraduate students.
