Title: Nonlinear Equations in Geometry
Speaker: Shing-Tung Yau (Harvard University)
Abstract: The method of nonlinear differential equations has been a very powerful tool in geometry. We will present an introduction to a number of geometrically important equations and their solutions. Some discrete analogues of these equations have applications in computer graphics.
