- Date: 09/26/2008
- Time: 12:00
Lecturer(s):
Dr. Frank Morgan, (Williams College, USA) PIMS Distinguished Visitor, Geometry & Harmonic Analysis Collaborative Research Group
Location:
University of Calgary
Topic:
Putting a density (as in calculus or physics) on the plane can make for some interesting geometry. Perelman used such an idea in his proof of the Poincaré conjecture. No prerequisites.
Schedule:
