Abstract: The study of central configurations is an important subject in the n-body problem. The history of their study will be summarized and we will explain importance of central configurations. We give an introduction on symmetrical five-body central configurations. We discuss central configurations which are strictly convex and consider convex but not strictly convex central configurations. At last, we also provide a list of important questions about central configurations. Tea Time: 3:30PM R707
