Physics for Mathematicians: What do physicists mean by "mirror symmetry"?

by Andy Neitzke in RLM 9.166

This is the first in a series of talks aimed at graduate students who would like to understand a bit more about the physical underpinnings of various geometric notions. I will try to describe what physicists mean by "mirror symmetry," and how it is related to some of the statements mathematicians call "mirror symmetry".
