Organizer: Professor Richard McGehee, School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota, invited guest speakers
Time/Location: Tuesdays, beginning 9/11/12, 11:15 a.m. - 12:05 p.m., 305 Lind
The Mathematics of Climate Seminar will meet every Tuesday
(staring September 11) at 11:15 in 305 Lind Hall. The first
few lectures will be an introduction to the subject. The
level of mathematical sophistication will gradually increase,
until we are examining current research by the middle of the
semester.
Climate modeling is a rapidly growing area. The mathematics
involved includes ordinary and partial differential equations,
dynamical systems, stochastic processes, statistics, and
numerical methods. Even if you have little or no interest in
climate, you might be interested to see some applications of
the mathematics.
The first lecture will be "The Scientific Case for
Anthropogenic Warming," by Richard McGehee.
The atmosphere is informal, and we usually continue the
discussions over lunch after the seminar.
Everyone is Invited.
