Title: Invitations to applied mathematics, solving differential equations numerically
Speaker: Maria Han Veiga
Abstract:
In this talk, I will talk about the general setting of solving mathematical problems computationally, and the role of applied mathematics, scientific computation and machine learning in this effort.
My problems of interest often arise from differential equations, so I will first give a general introduction to the solution of differential equations numerically. Then, we will look at different exciting research directions in numerical analysis, machine learning and reinforcement learning.
Note: This is part of the Invitations to Mathematics lecture series given each year in Autumn Semester. Pre-candidacy PhD students can sign up for this lecture series by registering for one or two credit hours of Math 6193 with Professor Nimish Shah.
