-
Time: 5:30 - 8:00 pm, Tuesdays
-
Place: Ry 276 NOTE NEW ROOM (hopefully warmer)
-
Instructor: R. Scott

This course covers some advanced topics leading to research
areas, but does so by giving illustrations of how the theory
is developed, avoiding extensive details.
The topics will intersperse elementary background with topics in
current research, and will be understandable by second year math
grad students. The lectures are modular to some extent.
Topics for winter 2004 will include:
-
models for fluids from Newton to Rivlin and Eriksen
(existence, uniqueness, computational algorithms, million dollar
prizes, and outstanding controversies);
-
models for economic equilibrium based on Monge-Ampere-Kantorovich
type equations
There may also be guest lectures by experts on particular subjects.
