DESCRIPTION:Mirror symmetry is a somewhat mysterious relationship between 
 pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds (Z\,Ž)\, where the symplectic geometry of Z
  is intertwined with the algebraic geometry of Ž et vice versa. The main 
 goal of this talk will be to introduce a construction of mirror pairs due 
 to V. Batyrev\, which is based on a purely combinatorial duality of lattic
 e polytopes. Despite its apparent simplicity\, this construction provides 
 a great toy example for studying mirror symmetry in general. We will go ov
 er some examples and\, time permitting\, discuss various generalisations.
