I will give an introductory talk on Mirror symmetry from the point of view of the Strominger Yau Zaslow conjecture. The conjecture claims that mirror Calabi-Yau manifolds are special Lagrangian fibrations over the same base but with fibres related through T-duality.
The talk will cover basic material about Calabi-Yau manifolds, special Lagrangian submanifolds and their deformation theory.

After the seminar we will take the speaker to lunch.
