| Many problems in computer science can be modelled as metric spaces, whereas for mathematicians they are more likely to appear as the opening question of a second year examination. However, recent interesting results on the geometry of finite metric spaces have led to a rethink of this position. I will describe some of the work done and some (hopefully) interesting and difficult open questions in the area. | |||
