2012 AMSI/ANU/UQ Australian Winter School
Speakers
Details
Designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, the programme will focus on recent progress in non-linear partial differential equations and their applications. In particular, the programme will emphasise three interlocking themes:
Nonlinear elliptic equations and their applications to geometry and optimal transportation;
Geometric flows and applications;
Harmonic maps and applications.
The first week will be comprised of introductory lecture courses, while the second week will focus on key topics in recent research and contemporary applications.
These lectures will be presented by world leaders in the area of Geometric Partial Differential Equations.
