Title: What is the volume of a lattice polytope?
Abstract: A lattice polytope is the convex hull of finitely many points with integer coordinates. The goal of this survey talk is to give different ways to compute the Euclidean volume of such an object, finishing with an algebraic method that uses Hilbert polynomials.
