Helly's Theorem--A Very Early Introduction
arXiv:2604.01237
Abstract
We propose an interpretation of, and approach to, Helly's theorem that can be included quite early in the undergraduate curriculum. At the same time, the approach connects with contemporary models of data privacy and with sampling methods used in epidemiology. The presentation is intended to be accessible to teachers and their students.
