Optimal Volume-Sensitive Bounds for Polytope Approximation
No full textApproximating convex bodies is a fundamental question in geometry and has a wide variety of applications. Consider a convex body K of diameter Δ in ℝ^d for fixed d. The objective is to minimize the number of vertices (alternatively, the number of facets) of an approximating polytope for a given Hausdorff error ε. It is known from classical results of Dudley (1974) and Bronshteyn and Ivanov (1976) that Θ((Δ/ε)^{(d-1)/2}) vertices (alternatively, facets) are both necessary and sufficient. While this bound is tight in the worst case, that of Euclidean balls, it is far from optimal for skinny convex bodies.
A natural way to characterize a convex object’s skinniness is in terms of its relationship to the Euclidean ball. Given a convex body K, define its volume diameter Δ_d to be the diameter of a Euclidean ball of the same volume as K, and define its surface diameter Δ_{d-1} analogously for surface area. It follows from generalizations of the isoperimetric inequality that Δ ≥ Δ_{d-1} ≥ Δ_d.
Arya, da Fonseca, and Mount (SoCG 2012) demonstrated that the diameter-based bound could be made surface-area sensitive, improving the above bound to O((Δ_{d-1}/ε)^{(d-1)/2}). In this paper, we strengthen this by proving the existence of an approximation with O((Δ_d/ε)^{(d-1)/2}) facets.
This improvement is a result of the combination of a number of new ideas. As in prior work, we exploit properties of the original body and its polar dual. In order to obtain a volume-sensitive bound, we explore the following more general problem. Given two convex bodies, one nested within the other, find a low-complexity convex polytope that is sandwiched between them. We show that this problem can be reduced to a covering problem involving a natural intermediate body based on the harmonic mean. Our proof relies on a geometric analysis of a relative notion of fatness involving these bodies

I am pleased to send this little foreword forth with the 35th Yearbook of Mount Royal College. How much we have appreciated you who are our students of what we hope may be the year of victory. In fact Mount Royal College waited thirty-five years for you, and the College is very hopeful that you may make a very special contribution in building a better world. This has been a year of deep significance in the work of the College. There has been enrolled the largest group of students ever to attend and yet the work has progressed with a smoothness and harmony that has been reflected in the high standard of marks obtained. There has been lots of fun and good fellowship but through all there has been a note of seriousness reflecting the titanic struggle that has been taking place throughout the world and leading everyone to make the best of his time so that he may be better fitted for .the new day following peace. i
The year has passed quickly. It just seems like yesterday since we came to the College last Fall somewhat nervous but with high expectations. Today we are going forth with a clearer vision of the tasks that lie before us and better equipped to meet them. A great challenge comes to us all to so live and give such leadership that the sacrifices of our comrades may not be in vain. We have remembered with appreciation the names of our former students and members of the staff who are serving in the war and have grieved deeply as some of the finest have paid the supreme sacrifice.
“They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old, Age shall not wither them nor the years contemn,
But at the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.”
We deeply mourn their loss, but pledge ourselves anew to make real their vision of a better world, remembering that—
“What builds a nation’s pillars high And its foundations strong?
Men who for truth and, honor’s sake Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men, who work while others sleep, Who dare while others fly—
They build a nation’s pillars deep And lift them to the sky.”Architect’s sketch of the proposed
KERBY MEMORIAL BUILDING
/ ^be(liccCUo-H
NE YEAR AGO we dedicated the Yearbook to the late Dr. G. W. Kerby,
our beloved Principal Emeritus. This year we are proud to dedicate
this book to the proposed Kerby Memorial building which is to be erected
to the memory of Dr. G. W. and Mrs. Kerby. This buildifig will not only be
a fitting memorial to the founders of the College but will also provide much
needed accommodation. The plan is to concentrate classrooms, laboratories,
administrative offices and an up-to-date gymnasium in the new building while
the present plant will be renovated and changed to provide more residential
facilities and improved studios for the Conservatory of Music.
In the main hall of the Kerby Memorial building there will be a special
memorial section preserving the photographs of Dr. G. W. and Mrs. Kerby
and other historic pictures and documents concerning them. There will also
be a book of remembrance telling of the life and work of Dr. G. W. and Mrs.
Kerby and recording for future reference the names of all contributors to the
Kerby Memorial Building. It is the desire of the College Board to preserve
for succeeding generations of students something of the spirit of the Kerbys
and to memorialize their supreme work in Calgary which was the founding
and establishing of Mount Royal Junior College.
The following editorials that appeared in the Calgary papers will indicate
how heartily the community has endorsed this idea of a Kerby Memorial building.
The Calgary Daily Herald, December 4th, 1944, said: “No finer memorial
could be erected in honor of the late Dr. G. W. Kerby than the 100,000 building
planned by the governors of Mount Royal College. Its construction has
become imperative because of the continuous expansion of the College’s activities,
and when completed will bear the name ‘Kerby Memorial Building’.
This institution fills an important role in the province’s educational system.
It provides facilities for carrying students through the first two years of their
University course and it also has courses in musical instruction and other branches.
It is in every sense of the word a junior university, and the high type of instruction
is evidenced in the many scholarships and other awards won by its students.”
“Dr. Kerby spent many years in this city, much to the community’s benefit.
In Mount Royal College he left to it a centre of learning of which all citizens
are proud. It is highly fitting that his name and memory should be perpetuated
for many years to come by what will be a fine memorial building, dedicated to
the work in which he was most interested.”
The Calgary Morning Albertan, December 5th, 1944, said:
“The idea of this memorial seems a very happy one. Dr. and Mrs. Kerby
founded Mount Royal College and it is probable the school was their favourite
among the many enterprises which they organized in Calgary. An extension
of the College building to take care of the steadily increasing enrolment would
be an ideal memorial for this pioneer clergyman and educator. The project
will certainly receive the support of the people of Calgary.”
The proposed Kerby Memorial Building will enable Mount Royal to render
better service to the youth of Calgary and Southern Alberta by furnishing
up-to-date facilities and making possible an extension of the work the College
is carrying on. We students of this year greatly appreciate what the College
has done for us and heartily congratulate those who will follow on the improved
accommodations that the Kerby Memorial building will provide and we are
glad that the spirit of Dr. G. W. and Mrs. Kerby will be preserved for succeeding
groups of students.

AND now we leave another too short a year at Mount Royal College behind us, but not the many happy memories of good times, the wonderful friendships, and the petty quarrels with one another. When we have entered into this world of boundless opportunities and take our place among them, we will recall the little troubles we had with our studies, the way our teachers stepped on us when we needed it, the Friday night dances, and then discover that these and more composed the binding of all into one at M.R.C.
With the passing of this year, through headaches and sacrificing of time on the part of an unnamed many, another V arshicom has been completed. We have tried hard to make this Year Book a success and we wish that in future years the students of M.R.C. may profit by our mistakes.
I wish to express my sincerest appreciation to my untiring and reliable staff whose contributions of time and effort, have made the publication of this book possible. To Mr. Garden, Mr. Walters and Frances May, whose experience proved to be the foundation of the compilation of this V arshicom.
We hope it may, in years to come, serve as a source of many happy fireside memories of the gang yon knew at. good old M.R.C.

PERHAPS as you have walked through the halls of
Mount Royal College you have seen the small,
friendly groups which gather here and there.' This
day a* few of us were discussing the practical value of
education when Bill told us what education meant to him.
As T can remember it, here is his story.
Not far from Bill’s home was an immense forest
which had always fascinated the young man. One day
he walked to it. Leading into the dark hollows ahead
was a wide path which Bill followed unhesitatingly, until
he came upon a magnificent palace, glittering with light.
“Who are you, von young boy, and what are you
gentle voice spoke beside him.
Bill looked up at the gracious lady touching his shoulder with a quiet hand.
“My name is Future”, the soft voice continued, “this is my home. I have
many children like you. Right now they are out in the World, where, because
they are getting things ready for me, they are called the Destinies. Goodness,
it is past their suppertime! Already I can hear two of them quarrelling. Hope
and Despair both want to control a young man who has lost his job.”
With that she blew five long blasts on a bugle. To Bill, no time passed
before several tiny creatures stood before Future.
“Now children, how does the world stand today?” asked Future.
Pessimism grinned as he replied, “Mr. Mankind is a little troubled today.
He is fighting himself, all by himself.”
Bill listened sadly, “I wish I could help you, Future. However, I’m just
a student at school. What can I do to help you?”
Future smiled and was beautiful. “You can be of wonderful help, for
I do need you, greatly. I want you to travel to the land of knowledge. It is
far, far away, but two of my favorite Destinies, Ambition and Perseverance,
will accompany you till you reach Knowledge. Then you must journey alone
continually searching the land till you find my three lost babies—-Love, Tolerance
and Unselfishness. If you find them, they will take you to the land of
Truth. If you reach Truth, Bill, Mr. Mankind will find peace. I will be safe
and promise to give my youngest child, Happiness, to the World. Before you
leave, here is a compass to guide you on your trip. It is called Memories.
Treasure it well for you will need it! Now go!”
Lifting his hand in farewell, Bill the student, who had found the meaning
of Education, walked out into the World in search of Truth.

Prayer of a College Student
By Francis Chapman
Our Father, may 1 live this term,
Not blinded by the social press,
The sports, the fun, the interest
Of college life.
Keep free my mind from cluttering things,
To hear always the song that sings,
The grasp from flight, the thought that wings
Through mind and heart;
The task that thou hast given me,
To keep my will from ruling me,
To keep my mind and body free
For Thee to use.
Help me remember while I’m here,
With thankfulness, that in this year,
I, privileged, may leave and here
Prepare for life.

David Zimmer Christmas letter
No full textThis Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year.
David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society
