University of Pennsylvania

This talk is intended to be accessible to advanced undergrad math majors and grad students, and will provide both background and new results.

I will state and prove a new integral formula for the isoperimetric deficit of a planar domain, as well as survey some historical development of the isoperimetric inequality and mention some directions of current research.
