In this talk, I will (try) to introduce the subject of matrix positivity and survey the various type of positive matrices. I will discuss connections, differences, some related applications, and, hopefully, provide some rationale for the numerous type of positive matrices. Let me know if you can spot all 25 defined types of positive matrices during this lecture!
No previous knowledge is required and this talk will not be technical in the least. All are welcome to attend and hopefully you leave having learned something new about a positive matrix!
