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 lattice polytopes. Despite its apparent simplicity, this construction provides a great toy example for studying mirror symmetry in general. We will go over some examples and, time permitting, discuss various generalisations.
