Abstract: Packing and covering is a fascinating subject in pure mathematics. It mainly deals with arrangement patterns and efficiencies of geometric objects. This subject has a long and rich history, even back to Kepler, Newton, Lagrange and Gauss. In spite of the long history, many of its key problems are still open, even in the plane. In this talk we will briefly introduce some stories and problems in packing and covering, together with basic concepts and fundamental ideas, to present a comprehensive review for packing and covering.
