Much of the progress in applied mechanics and applied math has resulted from the gradual accumulation of knowledge and understanding through contributions by a community of researchers. However, occasionally a single paper contains fundamentally new...

Superschools focus on topics at the interface of Mathematics and Physics. Graduate students and early career researchers, from both Mathematics and Physics, will be guided, in an intense week-long summer school, by the mentors. String Theory...

The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) invites the mathematical community to the 2016 CMS Summer Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, from June 24-27. All meeting activities are taking place at University of Alberta (116 St & 85 Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R3)...

Dr Frohlich is Associate Director of the Institute for Geophysics and Senior Research Scientist in the Jackson School of Geosciences. Following his talk there will be an open panel discussion. Confirmed panelists will include Mirko van der Baan and...

Separating the configuration and velocity measurements was pioneered by Euler in 1750s in his study of the dynamics of rigid body and fluid. This use of ‘nonmaterial velocity’ influenced greatly the development of mechanics. In 1904, Hamel extended...

This talk is about certain dynamical equilibria of curves related to towed cables, sedimenting filaments, and other marine, microfluidic, or industrial structures. I will present analytical results detailing the configurations of a translating and...

The Lie Theory Workshop series of weekend conferences has been meeting several times a year since 1990. Most years the NSF supports graduate students and postdoctoral participants, and the institution at which the workshop takes place also provides...

Given a Calabi-Yau complete intersection in a toric Fano variety, there are various ways to construct the mirror. Sometimes these mirrors are isomorphic and sometimes they are not. These distinct 'double' mirrors should be equivalent in some way if...

It is well-known that there exist many problems in numerical computation for three-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. For example, in solving 3D Navier-Stokes equations numerically, we need to consider the following difficulties:1...
